This is our main layover for our trip south. We love how quiet and peaceful it is. The staff are always friendly. The facilities are always clean and up-to-date. We will be stopping here on our way up north come spring time.

There is no campground host and we only saw a ranger occasionally when they drove through. Water pressure was a little low but useable.

The power went out on two separate occasions, and it was out for 2 days. I had booked an additional two weeks, and a ranger showed up the day I was to move to a different site to say I couldn’t do so. This happened on a Sunday. Y’all had 2 weeks to advise me of this, and didn’t until I was to leave to a different numbered site in 2 hours. This left me with nowhere to go with my two children. We will not be returning.

The park was clean and easily accessible. Try e highlight of the weekend was the local fire department bringing in Santa Clause for the kids at Christmas time. We will be back.

Nice park. Best part was they have full hookups, so it was nice to dump black water right at the site not at a dump station.
