Gorgeous primitive campground and trail system. Camp host will not enforce quiet time.

This was the best place to camp. The water was clean and clear, it wasn’t very crowded. This place was just wonderful, recommended all my friends and family’s here. I have straight talk and didn’t have service until i was at the four way stop sign. I would come back to this place again!

Trails were great for a hike. Disconnecting from the outside world was refreshing. My daughter loved seeing all the horses, over all a great time!

For the third time in the last three years we arrived at the campground to find our reserved campsite already occupied. The first two times after much delay and confusion we were able to move into campsite. This last time we found that the camp host gave our reserved site to a couple who simply wanted to be next to their friends who were camped in the adjacent site. We drive approximately three hours to the campground to find we don’t have a campsite due to someone’s negligence or it has been given away to someone else.
