It was very nice to have the office staffed, thank you. since there is no cell service in the campground having staff is great.

Terrific campsite! The only negative is during the winter campers with generators are mixed in with tent campers. Generators are allowed into the dark and can begin again early in the morning creating lots of noise at an otherwise tranquil site.

We stayed here the Monday & Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It was not crowded and everything was clean & well cared for. I appreciated the bathrooms with flush toilets. They were never gross or smelly. The area is beautiful and despitherw being a road near by you rarelt heard raod noise. I would highly recommend staying at this site.
