The camp host Jeff was great and is keeping the Little Mattie grounds in clean and great shape.
Some sites are better than others. Site 5 was okay, but close to the adjacent site. Not much tent space on site 5.

Great stay in every way EXCEPT no dump station. It hs been closed for two years and no one seems to know if there is a plan for putting a new septic in or not. There are no other stations in the area. Seems like this should be a priority at such a nice campground.

Our site was beautiful. The bathrooms were clean. It would have been perfect if there had been water in our campground. And it was hot, but you can't control that.
