It's a nice basic camp ground next to the road, and you can hear all the traffic and all the neighbor camp conversations.

It was a bit hot and the site #10 was on a slant but other than that great site. Portable bathrooms.

The camp host was kind and greeted us within 39 minutes of our arrival. The campsite itself was infest with bees that burrowed underground and came out of holes in the ground anytime we’d so much as make black coffee. We were swarmed multiple times by anywhere from 50-100 bees at a time. We stayed for 24 hours of our 72 hours booked and then left as it was impossible to enjoy even sitting outside of our tent. We are frequent campers and used to bugs and bees, unfortunately this experience was extreme and being unable to even sit outside made any sort of enjoyable camping here impossible.

This place was ok, but fair warning, this is privately managed. We had to pay extra per person and for an additional car. Strict quiet hours at 10. This is fine if that's what you're looking for, but we stay up late.

We had a great spot, no.7 and there was heaps of space. No one around us on our side of the access road. Excellent campground for tent camping. Our stay was very quiet but that was in Nov.

It was dry and dusty, not the green fields Recreation.gov shows, the only places to park are under the oak trees that drop acorns on your car the whole time. However this campsite was so peaceful and quiet at night ( off season) I did enjoy it.

Nice site! We were worried about being within eye/earshot of the road but cars went by so infrequently it didn't matter. Still had a lovely sunset and lots of birdsong in the morning. Wood is $10 per bundle at the camp host. Bathrooms are currently under construction so get ready for port-a-johns.
