Super easy, so glad my last name was on the sign. Nice and peaceful, not too close to other campsites. Well worth the trip.

Carol, the camp host, was amazing! She was so fun to talk to and very helpful. She worked hard to keep the place clean. I’ve never seen more well maintained bathrooms in a campground! And the place was gorgeous! We loved our site in 15. The driveways in each site were big and long— perfect for extra vehicles or trailers. There was a nice flat spot cleared of vegetation for a tent, a ditch oven table, really nice fire pit with grill attached, good picnic table, a pole with a hook to hang lanterns or garbage or food bags, and lots of tall pines for shade. We even had service on our phones the whole time we camped here which was a surprise! (I normally like to get away from being on my phone while camping though so I just put my phone on airplane mode or turned it off.) We loved the creek at the entrance, the nature walk, and watching the sun set from the outlook near site 13 which was beautiful. Only issue we had were skunks visiting at night but we kept our dogs controlled and our food up out of reach and it wasn’t too bad. Loved this place! Planning to come again.

I just want to give a shout out to the camp host. She was amazing! She was really kind and kept the bathrooms clean. She seemed like she genuinely wanted everyone to have a good experience there.

This is our second time staying here. Fantastic site, lots of tables for everything and a nice sized fire pit with seating. When you drive in you wonder how the site can possible fit 100 people, but if you follow the loop around up past the bathroom, there are lots of mini campsites and plenty of parking. You’re not going to get 100 people worth of tents within the main meeting area.
The campground host was fantastic and friendly. Kept the toilet very clean. She told us they’d had many rvs go up and around the loop to park to utilize the whole site.
The only issue is there is only 1 bathroom. Not sure how 100 people can use 1 toilet, but the rest of the site is great. We had 23 people in our group. 1 camp trailer, 1 rv, 3 tents.
There is a water hydrant at this site, but you can’t hook hoses to it. So come prepared with your own water in your trailer/rv. Also you need to pack out all your trash, there aren’t any dumpsters.
