Stayed at 90. Giant tree over it gave shape. Very peaceful. Big space between sites. Mr. Dakota at check in gate extremely kind.

Spacious with trees. Easy to get to. Went to a local diner called Mr. D's Drive in and Bonnie's Cafe (recommended per the check in lady). Huge golf ball on tower near the campsite entrance.

The campground is really nice and well taken care of and that is a 5 star review, but many of the site pads have such a steep incline it is hard to level your camper so check the incline if able before you pick your site.

Our camp spot was on a little slope, but it wasn't bad at all. The location was great. We were close to a bathroom and a playground so it was perfect for the kids. Overall we had a great time and even got to watch a meteor shower at night!

The campground is nice; however, checking in after hours was challenging to know what to do.
