Very nice campground and very clean. Campground host was very helpful and did a nice job maintaining the park. The gravel road out the eleven miles wasn’t expected to be quite as washboard and dusty to getting there, we noticed this area seems popular and receives a fair amount of traffic for users.

The camp host kept the motorcycles, utvs and 4 wheelers from riding through the campground. That made the campground much more quite. Thank you

We have been coming to this campground for several years. I took my kids there when they were young, and now my daughter has taken her sons there twice. We have a wonderful time every time we go!

The first part of the week was excellent— Heidi was sweet, worked hard, and there was complete peace in the campground- then her husband returned from a few days of being gone- he began to nit pick about everything causing stress and unrest- one day our dog had been on a leash the entire day in camp- our family had gathered to eat dinner and we took him off the leash because everyone was petting him and interacting with him- he was in our camp and we were all minding our business- our neighbors dog was also off leash in their camp and also not causing problems- the camp host came over and threatened to call the sheriff- Really? He never said a word to our neighbors about their dog. It was very uncalled for-

Campground was superb. All paved. Clean pit toilets. Plenty of water outlets. No problem maneuvering with 30' fifth wheel.

Road in was 9 miles of gravel. At lot of corrugation so pretty rough. Not a pleasant drive but no sharp turns or potholes/rocks.

Couldn’t even get into the campsite way too may trees and looks like a lot of them have been hit is the past. Even the camp host told us it’s hard to get trailers in and out of there!
