My favorite campsite close to home. Cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen. Super close to the Mishawaka which is always great!

Close to the highway, yet right next to the river, great hiking trail across the road, that provided a wonderful opportunity for a trail jog

The camp host was great and very kind. Our site was near the river and had easy access to it making fishing fun. Our 12 year old caught one. The bathrooms were very clean and just several flies which were expected. Overall great experience.
