What a lovely campground. Nice, large sites and pleasant atmosphere. Also fairly easy to get reservations since the vault toilets seem to scare away the less committed campers.

We love this campground, especially the sites along the creek. Bill, the Host; is such a nice man. He is always friendly and helpful. This last time we had some very rude children who were on motorized bikes and scooters. They would taunt my daughter’s dogs which was not helpful. I would love to see these motorized bikes banned. They are noisy and the kids go around much quicker. It was like having to listen to motorbikes, which made dogs bark more than a regular bike. If they hadn’t stopped to tease the dogs it wouldn’t have been as bad. We never said a word to them. Parents don’t watch their kids like they used to.

The camp host is amazing . He makes regular rounds to insure everyone is safe . Very friendly . Campsite was nice and clean when we got there . With no electricity I wish sites had lantern holders .

We have been camping here for the past 3 years, we love the camp sites and the host Bill is a great guy. The only draw back this trip is that they took out the lantern post, so we had to figure out where to put the lantern. We love the quietness and the family feel of the campground. We take our 3 year old grandson for a few nights each trip and he loves it!!!
