Great campground to camp at very peaceful, we have been camping there for over 5 years now.Would just like to add we are very disappointed that they are opening later in the year and also closing for the month of September and only staying open for the few days in October! Its dropped the camping time down by half which those months are also the best months to camp the ones they took off they have the kind of weather campers enjoy! Also just want to add that the volunteer hosts are amazing and they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome!! Hopefully they will listen to campers and open back up for those months.
