Clean and well maintained site with shower, among the best we've been visited. Quite and peaceful throughout our stay. Tom is an accommodating host and always there to help. He rescued and saved our cat when she jumped and stuck 50 ft above on a pine tree. We can not thank enough of him.

Beautifully treed, paved, pull-through site, but...wasps had nested in the water ring and many ground nests nearby. No camp hosts as site has shifted to a "concierge service," overflowing trash cans (hello bears, nothing to see here), dirty bathrooms, and large group site next door made for less than desirable get-into-nature conditions.

We had booked site 1. The electricity hookup wasn't working. The showers were closed. No host in the campground. No one to address any issues.

Great site, saw deer and woodpeckers around. The campfire/bbq pit functioned to our needs. Water spigot at the site was a great benefit. Bring a flash light for the bathrooms.
