I love this campground. Small (15 sites) beautiful campground with a host and amazing surroundings. Depending on the time of the year, it can be a very quiet and intimate camping experience or a family free for all. Not far from hiking, boating and sightseeing. Close enough to home for a quick getaway but far enough from home to feel like a vacation. I’ll DEFINITELY be back!

Camp sites sit in a large circle in a grove of old oak trees. Flush toilets were clean; no bathroom sinks. Some sites are a little close to each other.
