Great campground, It tends to have a lot of ATV's since it seems they have a nice trail specifically for ATV's leading out of the west end of the campground.
The campground is well cared for by the host.

Through no fault of the campsite host, our campsite was completely flooded. When we asked the hosts if there was any other accommodations, they simply said nope, and wouldn’t help us out. Our entire campsite was under water, our fire pit was flooded, all around the picnic table was flooded. So I paid to sit on pavement the entire time. I’m furious at the lack of compassion and consideration of the camp host couple. What a horrible trip made worse by horrible hosts.

Very beautiful campground, however the water gets shut off at night, and doesn’t get turned on till the next mid morning. So it makes using the toilets gross, and drinking water a small a trickle. I’m getting tired of paying what we pay, for no water resources.
