Amazing camp hosts, very clean, but also a beautiful natural campground. Recommend staying away from the highway, can get a bit noisy on weekends.

Looked like a great campground! Site 45 was rated as being good for a small trailer. When we arrived we found it was on a very steep grade, a bit overgrown, and not suitable for a trailer or a tent. Unfortunately we could not stay.

Amazing place, my wife and I always go camping once or twice a month and this place surprised us especially Hector, very friendly, helpful and kind, he treated us very well upon our arrival, you realize when someone works on something they like, good job Hector, keep it up!!! Not to mention that this place is super clean, you can see that he keeps it very well, not to mention the bathrooms, we were surprised with how clean they are... Highly recommended.

The camp needs a lot of work. A big pot hole was on a water crossing on the road that could not be avoided because one side of the road had vegetation and the other a big drop into the creek. Toilets smelled very bad.
