Frank was an amazing manager. The bathrooms were cleaner than any campground I have stayed. He was maintaining the campground and the lake area and everything was impeccable. Check in was a breeze. I will definitely come back here.

Nice little site, but lots of daytime traffic. With camp site pass, free admission to recreation area right nextdoor with beautiful hiking and lake access. Camp host Frank is a gem and keeps bathrooms spotless. Lovely area!

Nice quiet and clean. Frank’s a Great camp host. Not real suitable for large rigs both in approaching HWY ,Max trailer length 31 ft, and campground driveway. Our 28 ft fit fine. Our spot was very private. Only gig is no dump station. Will be back.

Do the hike to Ranger Falls, a good walk and pretty waterfall. Don’t miss Dry Falls, excellent experience. Camp ground is clean and quiet.
