We always love coming here, typically in the late spring early summer, but this was a different experience being that it was very cold! We were prepared and we had a fabulous time and Steve, as always, is an amazing host!!

Fantastic campground for families. Large sites. We always reserve double lots 4 and 6 but they fill up quickly. I wish there were more large spots with electric. I love the ability to drive ATV/UTVs and people are all very cautious when driving through the campground. We had a problem with the hot water in the showers this visit so that was a downfall and the reason for the 4 stars. We use the showers instead of our camper because they are nice and roomy. Host is very nice and friendly. I love camping here.
