Quiet, peaceful campground. Nice dark skies. Sites are large and well spaced apart. It is a wooded area and the trees on our site were adequately pruned. Some sites are more level than others. Restrooms were adequate. We would return and recommend to others.

We loved our large camp site, especially the way the campground was designed so we could see out of the back end of our camper. Lots of campers camping, but we still felt like we were in the woods.

Camp host unavailable. Tried to pay for site 3 times. Not there. Suddenly, a sheriff appears at our door and says we have to pay. No duh. Drove back to the office, where the host has magically appeared, and was told no payment is accepted there. Had to call recreation.gov to do it. Maybe take the sign down that says the host will come around in the evening to colect payment, and do the job.
