Great well managed campground. We were lucky enough to be there when the creek in the middle of the campground was flowing. Such a peaceful sound. We will definitely be back.

Great quiet campground. The hosts were wonderful. Thanks, Bill and Jo Ann. Campground was clean. Only thing I would change was the gate closed at 10 Pm and the fireworks didn't start until 9:30 on the 4th of July. I would not close the gates until later on that day.

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.

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.
