The campground had very friendly and hard working camp host, Sydney. The facility was clean and quiet in the morning and evening. We go every year. Two lakes close by for fishing and swimming.

Always love coming to stay here. Just wished they had showers. But love the double sight. It's big enough for the family to come together and have a wonderful camping trip.

This campground was so beautiful and every site had something to offer. It felt cozy and being surrounded by trees and so close to the sand dunes felt so magical. Also the camp host is the sweetest person you'll ever meet, so I highly recommend staying here. I'll definitely be coming back!

Great campground! Sydney, the host (Summer 2025) was so friendly! The grounds themselves were spotless and my neighbors were very respectful and quiet! 🙌 There are other campgrounds in the area with lots of ATVs…this was NOT one of them.

There’s NO out-of-state fee for booking a site, but you must book online. I paid $22/night plus a one time reservation fee of $8 in the summer of 2025.

No hook-ups, but there are several dumpsters, potable water spigots and flush toilet bathrooms scattered around the campground.

During my 3 day visit, there were lots of tent campers and small RVs (under 25”). The sites are smaller and lots appear to be back in, I could imagine the large trees would make parking difficult for huge RVs with slides 🤷‍♀️ .

**IF YOU NEED SOLAR**
Sites 4, 5, 6, 9, and 46 seem to get a lot of sunlight. Otherwise the sites are shaded by beautifully established trees. I’ll attach some of the good “solar” sites for reference.

Cell service: Verizon worked flawlessly throughout campground.
