The wind prevented the enjoyment of the stay. Being in a pop-up camper I was concerned the damage that might be caused by 60mph gusting winds. Overall, it's a great campground and the spot was perfect for being away from neighbors and long enough for my trailer. I hope to return again under less windy conditions.

The campsite was fantastic! The view was amazing. There were lots of open first come first serve sites. The campground was well taken care of and the camp host was very helpful when we were having camper issues. I will be back!

This campground was such a gem! There is a creek that runs through several campsites. Campsite 2 is beyond beautiful. The dogwood trees surrounding the campsite plus a private spot at the creek were just perfect. Bathrooms were clean and close by. As well as dumpsters/water.

Beautifully aired and maintained campground. The pit toilets ran out of paper the last day we were there, but that could be a random anomaly. There is water but it’s very mineral-rich and highly chlorinated, so you may want to bring your own for drinking and cooking. We didn’t mind it, but our guests found it off-putting. Great hiking trails within walking distance. Will definitely be back.
