Lovely campground. Very nice bathrooms within walking distance. Quiet and peaceful. Large area for our tent with a large picnic table. The visitor center is right across the road from the campground entrance. Was only here one night but would love to visit again.

This is by far the nicest, cleanest, well kept campground we have been to in a long time!sites for tents only. On tent pads where you can drive your pegs. Soft enough not destroy your tent bottom!. Rest rooms were always clean and well kept. Showers with actual hot water! Every person we interacted with was pleasant and enjoyable to converse with! Fire wood was actual dry wood that would burn!
