The campground manager was very helpful and the site was perfect for us. The lack of electronic communication was anticipated and actually very welcome. The gravel road to the site was a little sketchy but had just experienced a frog-strangler thunderstorm so we didn’t see it at its best. We would gladly return, hopefully in better weather.

The Camp Host was great. Very helpful and informative. The Campground itself was very nice, especially with the Creek running right next to it.

You have different spots to do a little Fishing. As well as a hiking trail that takes you up to where the mountain opens up to some spectacular scenery.
