This camp setup was great. The sites were wide and spacious. Host and all workers were very nice and helpful. Most sites plenty of shade. All camps should be patterned after this one. Only drawback was one mile of washboard road to get there Sites were even groomed when camper left. Great spot

We LOVED the campground and the entire area!! I was great being in the woods and yet close enough to the city where we could get our food and supplies!! The campground hosts were the most friendly, amazing people!! Miss Beverly was sooo sweet to our daughter!!

We were in Loop E, site 8. This double site has more room than we needed with a class B and a trailer. So much privacy. Lots of sun for solar and the woods around the site were wonderful for our grands, ages 4 and 5. I wish they had put electrical in both sides of the site and would really like to be able to add water directly via a hose at water which was just across the road from us. Be careful where you sit as you may be watching the morning constitutional parade. LOL.
