The site was huge, the campground was very well kept up. I enjoyed the hiking trails that were shared with the bikers. The restrooms were clean. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

We love this campground! Great location, campsites are spacious with grates over the fire pit. Miles worth of paved path great for walking or biking.

Even though it was near the end of the season, and during a Federal shutdown, the volunteers made sure everything ran smoothly. Rick (from NE) is always friendly and helpful!
