Many visitors enjoyed peaceful stays, with some highlighting the pleasant swimming conditions and the scenic landscape. While there were some concerns about noisy neighbors and maintenance of certain facilities, overall experiences were positive, with a strong desire to return.

Perfect location: not close to busy roads, couldn’t hear loud traffic, no trains that where close enough to wake you up in the middle of the night.
Camp sites where more private then most campgrounds.
Made great memories, very kid friendly

A nice quiet place for dry camping with pit toilets. Beautiful small lake with easy access for canoeing or small boats, plus a sandy beach and fishing pier.

Our campsite had lots of room and separation from the nearby sites. We knew what we were signing up for with vault toilets and no electric. The potable water source was a bit hard to find but we asked fellow campers and were able to find it eventually. Other than noisy neighbors way past the start of quiet hours our experience was great.

Too pricey for the stay. The side said it was $12 per night but I was charge $30 per night. Most trees where burn out and fall down from the roots. Made me feel a sense of pain and agony, suffering in the area. I did got to see an cougars though! Which was freaking scary but totally awesome.
Overall was ok. Wish there were showers in the campground or some water source.
