Camp hosts are the best! They maintain the area and ensure all is good. This is a peaceful, relaxing environment. Love it and just the nature and beauty of God’s creation. I just would remind other campers to remember to leave nature in the same way they found. Clean up food and trash. It makes each campers experience nice. Please remember to pick / scoop your dog poop up. Yes that is a nature for an animal but for your pet scoop/ dispose properly.

Spacious sites and pretty private, great view of the lake and wide open area to the lake since it was down fishing wasn't the best at the time we went but that's always a hit or miss. Bathrooms were clean as well as the whole campground itself and the host was very friendly and out checking everything multiple times a day and almost always asked if we were good or how we were doing. Will definitely be back!!

Very remote. Google is off...just drive forward. Wi-Fi and mobile towers are not here or close so no internet, wfh, netflix or even cell service. Drove 45 min to get somewhere to work from my laptop. Inconvenient and poor description and pictures of campsites. We won't be back, but it's peaceful if you want an off the grid experience.
