Very friendly & helpful camp host! Tim gave us great fishing tips. The campsite itself is quiet, with multiple water sources and very clean toilets. Definitely bring mosquito repellent, but we didn't find the mosquitoes to be oppressive as long as we kept up with the bug spray. Can't wait to come back!

Great campsite near lakes and trails! Site 10 felt private and tucked away. We saw a gorgeous white tailed deer on the hill by the site as we were eating dinner. The camp host was fantastic, super friendly and it’s obvious how much he enjoys being there - plus it shows with how well maintained the campsite is. The road to the campsite is very groomed and we didn’t have any trouble in a Honda HRV.

This site is delightful; my family and I had a wonderful time. The camp host is super helpful and kind, the bathrooms were clean and stocked the whole time. The wildflowers and mushrooms were everywhere :)
