Beautiful park! Sites are large and spaced far apart. Staff was A+. Site 7 is very tight for a 40' class A but we managed. We would choose a different site next time. Would definitely return!

Nice, level pad. No need or leveling blocks. Well maintained and clean. Water and electric hookups very handy. Check out the "Airline Trail - North" for a nice hike.
David and Karen, Russ and Val were super camp hosts. They made our stay as first-time RV campers a very pleasurable experience. We will definately return.

The camp hosts obviously love their jobs and checkin was easy and friendly. This cg looks fabulous and the patio and landscaping by the front gate is quite cute. This is a campers paradise, quiet, simple. We look forward to being back!

Easy check-in; friendly, informative volunteers who keep the sites beautifully maintained, even raked! The sites are long, wide and well shaded. The campground is in a quiet area but not too far from retail stores if needed. I took off one star for the sketchy dump station which does not have a sealed connection. Just drop your hose in front of the inlet and let 'er rip. The immediate area around the inlet showed evidence of a recent hazardous spill which supports my shock that this setup is allowed anywhere. Even if the state doesn't require a sealed connection, it should be done anyway.

This is a great campground. The sites are private and it is not crowded at all. It was quiet despite being completely full. The bathrooms were clean. We were traveling with a 2 year old and infant. The playground was impressive for a campground with multiple large slides, various climbing options, and a swing set. The staff was very accommodating. Check in was fast and easy.
