Our lot was nicely laid out, backed up to a trickling creek and lots of shade. We had plenty of room for all of our camping equipment. We had a wonderful time, the hosts are so nice and helpful. The bathrooms and showers are incredibly clean and very well maintained. The other campers were respectful of the designated "quiet time" and I could tell they were having the same experience as us, a relaxing, fun-filled time. We will definitely be going back for another wonderful experience in the near future!!

The hosts were very helpful and attentive. We had the lake to ourselves the first day we arrived. The showers were clean and accessible. Overall, a small and perfect camp to enjoy.

Very nice site. Clean bathroom and showers. Good hosts. Nice water area and trails. No cell service, we came on a rainy weekend and would have been nice to have been able to keep track of the rains.

Site was fine but there was a lot of noise at night. One of the hosts was very gracious, but the other could’ve been nicer.
