Clean, spacious campground. Needed reservations, which we had to drive almost out of the park to get - no wifi. This campground had water, which orhers didn’t. Very nice!

This is a beautiful and well maintained campground. Make sure to go to CC’s detox foot baths on Mondays at 1p.

It’s a good small campground with decent amenities and decent sized campsites. Flush toilets are good but there are no lights which is very inconvenient at night.

Very nice park to get away from it all. One spot in turn to rv lot needs to be repaired- huge muddy hole- but was able to get through.
