Great campground, great staff and great area. Adjacent bike trail is well well worth the effort. Cottage Grove is close by with a couple of nice pubs.

Beautiful area with a fantastic bike trail nearby. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Close to Cottage Grove which has a couple of breweries. We love it there and will be back.

While we really liked the campground and our site, the experience was spoiled by the fact at 8:00am, a crew with three riding lawn mowers decided it was time to mow. In addition to the noise, since it was so dry, the mowers were kicking up clouds of dust that covered everything. Of course, at 8:00am, many of the campers (ourselves included) were at their picnic tables eating breakfast. Very poor planning by the campground management.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
