Beautiful Park. I was told it was just renovated and reopened. We stayed for 11 days as a last minute due to a problem with another area we were in. Hookups in the rear of the pad, which was nice. 50amp would great with 3 acs going most of the time. Concrete, level pad with firepit, picnic table and pole (I assume for trash). Bugs were wild this week and chiggers got me. My fault. Camp hosts were wonderful people, checked us in after we got to our campsite. Tmobile worked fine.

We were happy with the campsite we selected. Electric hook-ups, Water & Sewer. Wish there were more trees, for privacy and campsite division. There was nobody on duty to check us in, even though we arrived during kiosk, “Staffed,” hours. My husband walked back, later, to try and check in, as I am disabled and unable to walk back; STILL nobody available for check-in, (Still during, “Staffed,” hours. There was a sign on the side of the Kiosk that said if nobody was there, someone would be around to check campers in… nobody ever came around! In the morning, when we left, and had no, “Yellow Tag,” to place in the box. Anyone could have just driven into this campground and taken a campsite! There’s nobody staffing this campground, doing check-ins/outs, overseeing general safety or cleaning up; it could have used a mowing, as well.

Well maintained camp. Hosts were very helpful when we had Jeep problems recommending a mechanic. Full hook up and concrete pads.

This renovated campground has beautiful concrete pads with plenty of room to park, and full hookups. Each tree-lined site has a fire pit and a certain amount of shade. Also, the sites are mostly level and easy to access. At the front end It does include 6-7 sites for campers with horses, and it has an archery range close by, so those are nice features. All in all, a wonderful park and we'll be back!!
