Some sites are too narrow for slide outs.

Great campground there is a restroom and drinking water available. If you are car/tent camping a shade shelter is useful as there is no real shade from any trees or brush here. Usually a cool breeze comes through in the afternoon.

Beautiful campground! It was very clean, very quiet, and the sunsets and sunrises were amazing!

Very friendly and helpful campground hosts! Made me feel very welcome. Many thanks.
My not five is because of usual campground problems--campfire smoke, noisy neighbors.
Beautiful spot.
