It is always the best getting out in nature and away from the world. We love this campground and the easy access to the reservoir. It is unfortunately getting more crowded every year, but what can you do. The camp hosts are the best, Dee & Deb. This is a lovely spot to lose your worries and find yourself again. Perfect for families.

Deb and Dale are absolutely amazing! They make us feel so welcome and are so helpful. We absolutely love being up at the lake and fishing. We also love hiking up at the trailhead in Ledgefork.

The camp host was absolutely amazing this year. I wish I would have gotten her name. We try to come up every year and we love it.
