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.

Beautiful little campground that is hard to find using a Garmin GPS. It is well off the road and the sites are a little hard to get into for a truck and 21' trailer....we would not recommend it for new RVers or larger rigs. The sites themselves were very large and well separated and we could hear the creek from our site#5. It was a lovely atmosphere and very relaxing.

Beautiful place to camp however they need to go in and cut back trees as it is very overgrown and if a fire got away it would not be good there are alot of dead broke off branches and it just needs to be more looked after.

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.
