Campsites were well spaced, and views were beautiful. Restrooms were outhouse style, but very clean.

The camp hosts at this campground where some of the nice people. The campground was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again for 9/6/22 thru 9/11/22 and can't wait.

The campground was nice and quiet when I went, and the host was very friendly. I can't comment on the cleanliness of the restrooms since I brought my own toilet.

Beautiful relaxing place to stay. It is very quiet which is what we were looking for. Driving from Michigan to camp here took some time but we will be back! A bit dusty and bumpy on the drive in to the campground but worth it once here.

Great hosts! We'll miss them next year. Well-designed campground with trees left between each site. Beautiful area...few ATVs and well controlled. Dogs on leashes enforced for a change. USFS and/or Forest Rec need to reinvest $$ in releveling the worst sites (least level!) soon, please, and new gravel . We really enjoy our time up there.

Loved our stay!
It was so peaceful and such a beautiful view everywhere you looked. Super close to Deerfield lake to do some bank fishing if you don't have a boat. The view was spectacular! It was very dog friendly. Almost everyone had their pups with them.
We noticed some folks had issues backing into spots with their rigs, we did not though.

Excellent Campground! spacious sites, paved roads and sites for parking campers. Electric at each site. dump station and potable water filling stations for filling tanks. very nice play ground equipment, sand volleyball court and horse shoe pits. clean restrooms and showers. Friendly host! Some campsites overlooking the Missouri River flowing by. Would stop here again when in the area.
