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!

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.

Clean bathrooms and hot showers. Nice lay out. Was a bit noisy into the evening. However there were a lot of children on this night so cannot blame them. Would stay again if in the area.

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.

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

I reserved and paid for a campground online, but the next morning someone came around to tell me that our spot hadn’t been paid for. Even after I showed him my printed receipt I was still forced to pay again.
