Beautiful campground. Camping in the woods, peaceful and quiet. Sites are narrow but asphalt. A little tight for our 5th wheel, but no issues. We got a site with FHU. Stayed 1 night while passing through. Would stay here again!

The campground had only been opened for 2 weeks when we arrived, but everything was in great shape. The weather mostly cooperated, and the road construction is finally almost complete. This is a great campground, with fairly spacious sites and plenty of old/tall trees.

I was not happy with the front desk lady whom rides the scooter around. Very rude and would not help us with different issues

Host at entrance friendly and helpful. Washrooms clean, but floors could use a coat of paint. Although cold morning, shower rooms were warm; water took a while to heat up. Sites are paved and nicely spaced. However, many sites slope to the rear. Good layout of dump site area.
Decent quality for the price.
