Really is a great place to stay for a weekend, but not for two weeks. the dump station is five miles away so if you have an extra vehicle and a heavy duty portable tank to run back and forth it's okay. You can make it last longer by using the outhouses at daytime. The showers are not heated.

Quiet, beautiful park in the JackPoint Loop. Wonderful and helpful camp hosts, Jeremy and John. Clean showerhouse. Just wish the water was hotter. I cannot say enough about Jeremy and John. They were amazingly helpful for this solo female camper! Will definitely be back.

Once we got settled, the site was nice and big. But when we first got there I was disappointed because online it said the site was a pull thru, level and paved. It was none of the above. The park needs to update their site information.
