The campground host was very accommodating in helping us change sites. Our reservation site didn’t work for us so he helped us to pick out a better one. A bit of traffic noise during the day but nights were quiet.

We stayed at campsite 12. It’s a few steps down with roots so ensure to stay steady footed. With it being recessed down there’s a lot of privacy despite being straight across from a water pump and the bathrooms. We could barely hear the neighbors but did hear some road noises that are easily ignorable.
There was a fire pit, hanging pole, picnic table and large flat gravel pad that easily fit our 10x18’ tent.
Overall, good experience and will go back if you that way again.

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.

The park ranger greeted us as we arrived and provided my kids with some Smokey the Bear activity books. The facilities were clean and very convenient. The campsite itself was well maintained. We also took advantage of hiking the Ranger Falls loop which was challenging but rewarding. Can't wait to come back! Thank you!
