Beautiful campsite #22, one of the best in the campground. We camp here often and this was our first time in this loop. When we spend a few days or more we love having a full hook-up site. This site was FHU and very large and private. Altogether a wonderful experience. However there were some severely sloped drives on this loop, so be careful when booking.

We had a great site for watching the eclipse. We love the open area to back into sites and the large spaces between campsites. The campground is convenient to nearby stores and restaurants as well as a really nice winery.
