A wonderful place to just sit back and let the world go by. No golf carts, no ATVs, no loud music. Staff and rangers are fantastic.

This is our 2nd visit this year and a really great place to stay. The grounds are well maintained and the bathroom/shower house is always kept clean every day. This is one of our favorite places to camp.

I like to walk and the smaller campground did not give me many choices of walking. I loved the small pond just for children. Although I think it would have been better for say age up to say ten

Wonderful campground hidden amongst soy and corn fields. Older shower rooms and bathrooms but very clean. Some campers have their sites lit up a lot at night which interferes with star gazing. I guess they just don’t get it.

We enjoyed our stay very much and found the bathroom facilities exceptionally clean. The volunteers who look after this campground are exceptional and always taking care of all the grounds and facilities.
