Beautiful campground. Lots of space and trees between sites so feels more private than many other campgrounds. All staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend it.

Best campground I’ve stayed at in a long time. The people working the front office were awesome. The sites were very clean, trimmed Nd not over grown as many are in the MN and WI state parks. Bathrooms were clean too. I liked that the bathrooms had a code to enter too.

We never stayed. Too many mosquitos all over the campgrounds. Had to make other arrangements.
