Only stayed for one night. No issues. Can't beat $9 for a place to stay while heading somewhere else. 50 amps.
Way better than Walmart or the nearest rest area.

Very friendly staff. The sites are too close together in some parts of the campground. A bit loud with traffic noise from the highway. Bike trail was nice with lots of wooded sections. Overall a very clean and comfortable campground.

Nice clean campground, paved roads. We had a full hook up site and all utilities in good working order. Bath houses are clean and well lit.
Will surely stay again when passing thru next time.

The campground was big-rig friendly (we have a 39' 5ver) and easy to get around. It was well maintained. The campground is beautiful.
We were in site 20 and the only downside was the rather large drop between the pad and ground. With the narrow site, it caused our stairs to be too short. We improvised, but a concrete pad there would have been nice and helpful.

Great campground, level sites, clean, well maintained and the camp host was friendly and welcoming. He did rounds several times a day and talked with folks. I’ve stayed at a lot of COEs and this was the first time I’ve seen a camp host be a camp host. Best park!

Wife fell at the sight because of a big drop off at the pad. She broke both bones in her lower leg and her ankle. She can't do anything for 8 Weeks
