Stephanie did a great job as the host. Bathroom spotless and the campsite was very clean. She was very helpful with stores, where to get AT&T etc...
Big flat campsites 👍😀

Beautiful, peaceful, and well-located. A large meadow surrounded by nicely spaced campsites and amazing ancient oaks.

beautiful location. Only complaint is that the bathrooms were awful; they smell disgusting and don't appear to be cleaned often.
