I stayed in the equestrian camp. I was impressed with the respectfulness of the quiet hours, the camp host’s checking that all was OK, and the cleanliness of the restroom/shower house.

This time of year was beautiful. The dogwoods were blooming and the trees were just starting to leaf out so we could still see the mountain views. The weather was great and the camp host is very friendly.

This is an amazing campground!! The facilities were clean and well maintained. The staff was knowledgeable of the trails. Maintenance was quick to respond when I had a problem with my outlet. Highly recommend this campground for anyone with horses. The terrain is really rocky so plan accordingly.

I love this place so much! The women’s bathroom needs some work though. It’s gone down hill substantially and over the past two years.

Except for sewer hook-up, space # 30 was great for us, because we had our grandkids. It was by the beach, parking lot, bath rooms, fishing dock.
We loved it.

Great place to go whether you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway or a place for the entire family. There is also multiple things you can do such as walking trails, fishing, a rifle range, and exploring off road trails in a vehicle.
