This campground is beautiful and very quiet. Tons of shade and the sites are very large. The hosts take meticulous care of every camp site and is the cleanest campground we've ever been to. We were in the E Loop which had a lot of double sites and located at top of the hill. Only downfall is that we didn't get to bike as much as normal since our site was on top of hill and climb back up was significant. Junction Creek was not running and fishing was far down the road. I would highly recommend this campground.

We stayed there for a week in our 30' class A. Absolutely beautiful campground with the friendliest hosts ever. Pit toilets are the cleanest I've ever seen. There isn't a bad campsite in the whole place. Just amazing, very quiet and peaceful. Be aware there is no water tap to fill an RV water tank or RV dump. We came prepared and had a wonderful time, but just be ready when you get there. Power service is 15/30/50 amp and great, outlets are on the drivers side with the RV backed in.
We will be back.
