Nice campground with a fair amount of trees and shade. Bathrooms were well maintained and clean. No noticeable car or truck noise from nearby roads, contrary to other reviews. Overall I really enjoyed our stay, even though the weather changed and was quite cold on our last night there. My wife's only improvement would be campsites with electricity, as she doesn't like to push the button to start the generator, or the noise of it.

We just stayed one night here. It was very quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms were nearby, some previous campers left their trash in the bathrooms rather than the dumpsters but otherwise it was clean. The space between each campsite was very large, we didn't even notice our neighbors pull in during the middle of the night.

This is a really nice campground. The maintenance was exceptionally good - probably the cleanest pit toilets that we've ever seen. Probably the only thing that would have improved it would have been the availability of drinking water, which they were working on.

Well maintained. Nice roomy sites. Clean bathrooms. The old farm equipment was interesting to see, but signs explaining what the equipment was would have been helpful.
