Beautiful, small, remote campground. A great place for getting away from everything because unless you are in to ATV riding, there’s nothing! Except for birders. For some reason the birding was fantastic. No dump station anywhere nearby.

The listing states there are flush toilets, which is not accurate. The flush toilets have been turned into a storage room.

My camp site was not even close to flat. I had one side of my rv on 4 inch tall blocks.

There is no way this will fit a 45 foot camper like the #18 site details say. Fortunately after several tries we were able to fit our 25 foot camper and our truck without poking out into the road. Overall it was a nice site, but I think they need to go review all the site details to make sure no one is caught off guard if their trailer setup won't fit.

Overall I would probably stay their again....just need to find one of the other sites which it would be easier to fit in. Some nice ATV trails were accessible from camp which made it pretty convenient.
