Spent 10 nights in late July. The campground was a perfect central location for our Jeep outings. The camp hosts were fantastic, playing guitar and singing at your campsite. They also kept the sites and restrooms immaculate. I would definitely return.

My favorite campground, ever. This is our second time staying in this campground and we've had wonderful experiences both times. This last time that we went, our hosts were such kind and beautiful people! They went to everyone's campsites during the evening, guitar in hand and began to play a song. It made us very happy and truly welcomed. We go camping often, and I had never had hosts like them. My kids love it here, and we will absolutely be going again.
