Great campground. One of the best maintained and cleanest COE campgrounds we've ever stayed in. Hosts were awesome! Led us to our site and helped us back in even though she was off duty. We'll definitely stay here again.

The campground was clean and felt safe. The campground host worked very hard to keep people from speeding and looked after everyone and was beyond helpful and kind. Very quiet at night.

This campground is in a wonderful spot and has great potential. Over the past 2 years we've noted the facility upkeep and improvement has been neglected. Other state and federal sites in this part of the country have invested in site improvement, but this location appears to have been overlooked. The negative issues primarily reside withe the latrines and bath houses.
