It’s so hot and I was told I couldn’t use an AC at night. The website doesn’t say no AC use of rv. It’s a nightmare night, never going there in future.

Was a nice site, near wash station and restrooms with some shade. Being next to the horses led to there being a lot of flies. Made it impossible to be outside at the campsite without having some type of protection

Beautiful campground. The most helpful campground host and rangers. It was hot but we loved it regardless. Bathrooms are old but they are clean.

We loved this quaint spot! We also loved our camp host who helped us find a great spot, when our first site did t work for our roofnest (above our truck tent). Enjoyed all the scenery around us as well as the park rangers talks at night in the small amphitheater. Thanks to all!

Yes, awesome and we had the opportunity to pick fresh peaches. It is so wonderful to get back to nature and see so many other people enjoying it too.

This campground was amazing! There were lots of trees and great bathrooms. The ground was flat and had few rocks; perfect for setting up a tent. I also loved that it was in the middle of all the places we wanted to go. I would stay here again.
