This is a beautiful campground - the grounds are in pristeen shape, the bathrooms were spotless, the staff was very friendly.

Love the trails. Campground was playing. Workers were very pleasant. We’re able to get in and out with a big rig and a tow vehicle behind. Most sites were good for us exception of a few trees with the slide out. We would definitely stay again great price full hook up.

We booked a one week stay on Site 42. We had full hookups and all systems worked as they should. The site was mostly sunny and paved. The spacing of the sites is very good with an easily navigated road system. The bath/shower houses were clean (not heated or a/c) and seemed to be very regularly maintained. This is a gated campground and it felt very safe. There is no Wi-Fi, but I work part time remote and our Verizon hot spot performed well. Check out Salt Springs Pizza just across the street...they have an expansive menu.
