Nice campground with paved roads and parking spots. The picnic table and fire pit are on a nice concrete patio. Our campsite (#3) overlooks the stream. There are several nice hiking trails is the area, but not right at the campground.

This campground surpassed our expectations in every way. Nestled in a picturesque setting, its prime location allowed us to bask in the warm sunlight during the afternoon while providing ample shaded spots perfect for relaxing during the hotter parts of the day. The balance between bright, sun-drenched areas and incredible, shaded retreats was impeccable, catering to our every need and ensuring a delightful experience throughout our stay.

NO WATER! Our poor camp host told us that she was having trouble with water Repair and was having to go into town to collect water for hand washing at the bathroom and also for cleaning up the bathrooms. She said some repairman came and looked at the part needed for repair of the water supply and left and never came back
Camp host was amazing! and very apologetic about the water. She was told it would be fixed in a few days and that was days before we showed up.
Campsite was clean and well cared for the bathrooms were amazingly clean
