We have enjoyed coming to this campground a couple of times a year. we have a need to be adjacent to the disabled spot and have always been able to secure it. The previous hosts were always charming and very helpful any time we needed assistance. Since our travel trailer is 33 ft long, it had always been a little bit of a challenge getting located on the site because it was tricky dealing with the rocks placed along the grass area. Last year, the host moved some of the rocks and guided us in with much less difficulty.

At our visit last weekend, were delighted to see the rocks had been removed -- and getting the trailer on site was a piece of cake. A big thank you to whoever moved the rocks. I do need to add that the current Hosts were also very nice and very welcoming.

This is not a good spot for rvs over 20 feet, as the road is narrow a dirt for
several miles . Also there is no power or water at sites no shower house bathroom is a glorified porta potty, only water is a spigot outside of toilet. Great for tent camping

This is a beautiful place with trailheads. Plan to stay more than 1 night so you can hike the trails on site! As you're driving in on the gravel road, Curtis Creek Rd., you kind of feel like you're not in the right place. After passing private residences, you will make it to the camp eventually!

The campground was more spread out than others which I really liked. The walk in tent sites were pretty private which was great! There is not cell reception and the bathrooms are well maintained vault toilet, but that is the reason for my very good vs excellent review. I would highly recommend!
