Water at camp site wouldn’t pump… I was glad I packed enough that it didn’t become an issue. Bathrooms clean and stocked. Lots of small trees for shade, but it does get hot. Lots of bike/hike trails to explore. Only 7 min from town!!! Beautiful!!!

Very clean and quiet campground. It was not too busy on Thursday evening. Camping spots are roomy and enough trees around every spot for privacy. We will stay there again in the future.

Beautiful campground. My reserved site (#29) was off-level, so I moved to #30, which was perfectly level and a much better site. I was there the first week in June, and the campground was less than 25% full - even the camp host wasn't on-site yet. If you are coming in the slower times, I recommend waiting until you get there to check out the sites. Even those sites that are reserved for the weekend are first come for that night if not reserved online. The sites are spacious, with a fire pit and really nice picnic tables. Pinion Pines and Junipers give many of the sites some shade. There are water spigots throughout (with threads), and the dumpsters are located at the entry to the campground.
