A beautiful and pleasant campground. The only negative thing is that several of the campsites are not as long as described on the website.

The pavilion was dirty. It was not cleaned or set up nicely before we came so we did not use it to eat in. We had to clean it up before we could have our dance party. The restrooms in camp were dark and decrepit. They really need to be renovated like the restroom closest to the front. The mosquitos were really awful this year, but other than that I appreciated the camp host who cleaned up the restrooms each day. It would be a lovely location if it was renovated.

Good but the campground did not have water when we arrived. Water was turned at the end of our stay but it was not drinkable.

The campground and our space were beautiful and well maintained - in the pine trees and plenty of space between the sites. Only complaints are the campground is situated next to a major fire road that is popular with off road bikers, so you occasionally hear motorcycles and ATV going by. Also, you cannot eat at the picnic tables, because the hornets find you within 60 seconds of sitting down to eat (we had to immediately get up and go back inside the trailer. There is also no trash cans or bear cans in the campground, so we had to burn our trash or haul in out.
