the campground was huge and we loved it in spite of no campfire restriction. Camp host was also very welcoming and gave all the information we needed and kept the area very neat. Lake Alpine is very close by to the campsite and it was great to hangout and chill near the lake beach. Our dogs loved the place too. I would definitely love to camp here again next year :)

Great facilities. Incredibly clean, like amazingly clean. The camp host was great, except the fact that he had a blue lives matter sign on his RV, which immediately made me feel terrified for my life.

Didn’t realize this site was at a slant to the table and to much soft dirt not much pine needles.

Good campground with an excellent host that runs a tight ship. Sites are spacious, facilities are clean and neighbors are quiet. Highly recommended, look forward to my next stay.
