A beautiful prairie location with nice privacy between sites. Late season, it was only partly full. Came highly recommended by another camper so we tried it- we would come back.

We had the perfect site protected and in the trees, but it was not the site we reserved. The picture for the one we-reserved showed that, but it was actually in the open on the side of a very windy hill. Picture and site number did not match

Nice campground. Wasn't overly busy. Water was out the final day due to well issues which are apparently regular but didn't impact our stay. Relatively flat sites.
