One of the most beautiful campgrounds I've ever stayed at. The wildflowers were popping and there was a family of foxes providing lots of entertainment. No potable water when I was there, but still a lovely campsite!

We love coming up here. Quiet, peaceful, lots of flowers, and good hiking right out of the campground.

Campsite was far from level, campsite drive was overgrown with vegetation and mosquitoes were fierce. We abandoned the campsite and stayed elsewhere. I have stayed at this campground in years past and enjoyed it, but we will not return. Sorry I could not give a lower rating.

Fabulous place. Good hiking right out of the campground. The flowers are gorgeous and a very nice lake. However, the driveways are not even close to level. There were 3 families in our group. We all had incredible difficulty leveling our RVs. Mine got close, but using every block I had, I still couldn't get it level.
