We met some friends here and stayed for 6 nights. It looks as if the park has been upgraded to FHUs at every site which is fantastic. The only down side is the number of unlevel sites. We were in a 36’ and even with our back tires off the ground, we couldn’t get level. It was also unlevel side to side. Looking around, it was hard to find a site that did look level.

The park attendant with the white truck with the veteran sign on his left fender was super nice! (sorry, I could not remember the gentleman's name.) The camp sites are spacious, well thought out. One of the best camp spots I have been to. All the land and trails, along with a big lake. So many things to do in this area, and this spot is perfect for it all. We will try and come back!

Nice campground. Tuesday, 9/17/2024 - Thursday, 9/19/2024. We had the entire loop to ourselves. Very quiet with little to no cell service. We enjoyed riding bikes throughout the campground although, the roads were rough from recent construction. The shooting range was only a couple of miles from camp. Several campers rolled in Thursday night - probably much busier on the weekends. We would probably stay again.
