This is one of the prettiest campgrounds we ever visited. The only thing that would have made it better would have been water and electricity. But we knew that when we booked it. The view from our campsite was beautiful. Plenty of space between campsites. The near-by town of Alma was nice and had a grocery store that had all we needed. Bathrooms were clean and nice. Would go again if it wasn't 800 miles away.

The check-in booth isn't staffed very often. Otherwise, a great campground. Will return.
