The speed bump on the way is too high. The rear stabilizers on our camper caught on it and they got bent. You can see where this has happened many times on the blacktop.

This campground was awesome and peaceful. Very well kept, all of their bathrooms were clean throughout our entire stay and shower houses as well. Yay for hot water ! The lake was beautiful, the trails were awesome. It’s a beautiful place and we’ll be back again.

Lovely campground with a small lake for swimming and several trails. Most sites are large, shaded and offer some privacy. There is one bathhouse with showers that is at one end of the campground loop that is about 1/8 mile walk if you are at the opposite end.

Nice, large campsites with reasonable separation from neighboring sites. Bathhouse was kept clean throughout our stay. Bear boxes in sites are large and convenient.
