We camped with 3 families side by side and had an absolute blast! The bear boxes were amazing and so nice to have a place to store all of our food and supplies. Bathrooms were clean and I loved the individual shower rooms. We will be back.

Lovely camping spot. Trees, shade, beautiful stonework and flat packed sandy soil.
Lots of nice people nearby felt very safe.
Not super quiet with lots of dogs.
But we enjoyed watching other people enjoy the campground.
Nice clean bathrooms. (Bring your own soap)
We hiked and swam in the little lake.

A gem of a campground! Super clean, quiet and well-maintained. Plenty of trails and the lake is gorgeous. Sites are level and mostly shaded. Not for large rigs though, only a few pull through sites. Absolutely no cell service (which we enjoyed!).
