The site #8 I think, has a very large stump in the center of the campsite. It is a nesting site for yellow jackets! Right in the center of the campsite!
Otherwise…excellent! Nice trails, clean bathrooms.

I was delighted when I arrived at this campground with how beautiful it was! The bathrooms are clean with real mirrors and warm showers. The campsites are clean, and the fire pits have built-in adjustable grills. I was there with a friend and our five children, ages 4-19, and they all had fun. We were probably the loudest group; this was a quiet campground but very child friendly; it's one small loop with a playground right in the middle. We will be back.
