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!

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.

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!

Clean, quiet campground with everything you need. Staff is on hand and keep the grounds well groomed and make sure all is in order and the quiet hours are respected. Definitely a welcome relief after some campgrounds we’ve been to in the past with loud drunken partying at all hours.
