One of our favorites campgrounds to camp at! Hosts are welcoming, sites and shower house are clean. Plenty of space, but close enough if you are camping with someone!

Beautiful spacious campsites with newish concrete pads. The grounds are well maintained with plenty of grassy area. Trails thru the whole campground. Peaceful and super quiet. The path to the lake from the campgrounds is not long but it’s a climb with stairs. Fishing alongside the lake is easy with shelf rocks to sit on. Swimming in the lake is accessible but no real beach area. The fishing pond is gorgeous at sunset, what a view. The horse corals are in decent shape. Highly recommend for a relaxing time.
