Wonderful campground, highly recommend the creekside sites. Site 20 is a pull through that is near the restrooms. The restroom is super clean and the showers are hot with great water pressure. Beautiful little lake within walking distance from the campground. Natural Bridge is a short 7-10 min drive away. Highly recommend!

We were promptly met by the campground host upon our arrival and they gave us all the information we needed. They park was quiet and beautiful... We enjoyed a nice weekend. Far enough off the beaten path to relax but close enough to civilization for fun day trips. Love it! Thank you.

The sites were beautifully maintained. You weren't on top of others. Bathrooms were very clean. One of the best campgrounds we have been in. Hope to make it back some day.

I almost hate to give an excellent review for fear of too many discovering this wonderful campground but honestly prevails! The amenities are flush toilets, hot water, quiet, and solitude shared over spacious and spread out campsites. No wonder why me and the DW come here 2-3 times a year!

A moat beautiful dry campground with a nice lake and a small brook running through the middle of the campsites. I had a wonderful time there. It is distant from attractions, at least by bike. I had no signals from either T-Mobile or Sprint.

We had a great experience at this campground. It was beautiful, pretty quiet and some good hiking around it. The hosts were exceptional, (our stay was in September of 2019). Our only challenge was most of the sites are best suited for rigs of 28' or less. We have a 34' 5th wheel and we could not fit in our originally reserved site. After we walked thru the park, we estimated that we could have only fit in about 10 of them. So if you are a longer rig, be sure that you can fit the site that you are planning to reserve.

The only other compliant is that the camp host cannot provide refunds. We essentially lost our money on our reserved site, because they could not transfer it to our replacement site, which is frustrating. Even so, we enjoyed our stay and would return.

I think it was a very attractive camp ground. I liked the stone work around each site and the natural feel to the sites.

the hosts were amazing and very diligent about keeping the bathrooms clean. they stopped by periodically to say hello as the campground was largely empty by that time of year (september). plenty of walking and very quiet and peaceful.
