Beautiful campground! We absolutely love it! Many of the sites are quite secluded. You can hear the creek running at night, crickets, and there are wild turkeys living there. So fun!

This is a beautiful and peaceful camping ground. The majestic ponderosa trees were awesome. We really enjoyed camping there. The campsites were well cared for and so nice.

Even though listed for only one vehicle, campsite 5 was level and large enough to fit my Nissan Xterra, Jayco JayFlight RV, and a compact sedan. The camp host is a wonder lady that was very helpful and friendly, and made us feel welcome. Campsite 5 was clean, grill and fire ring were very usable, and had a nice, flat area under the trees for a large tent. The table was well-worn, but in good condition, and surrounded by a concrete pad, also in good condition. Enough open canopy between the tall trees to see a blinding blanket of stars at night, since it was clear. If you want to go down to the creek, walk south toward the higher-numbered campsites and there will be a dead end road on your right whose gate you can climb over.

Nice and quiet to stay at. Disappointed with the upkeep of the campground by the host. They need to trim back the trees and thorn bushes on the road and the campsite. Scratched my trailer and truck due to the overgrowth just driving through the campground and backing the trailer into the campsite. Couldn’t have a campfire due to a fire hazard with low hanging bushes over the pit as well. Let’s trim and clean up the road and campsites a little please.

Even though it was over 100 degrees down in town it was a much cooler temp in the campground.

Campground clean and well taken care of. Bridget, the camp host, is great. Best one you have ever had.
Reservation system needs help.

We LOVE this campground. The ponderosas are amazing. Plenty of trees in the campsite and a stream makes this campground one of our favorites.
