Love this campground. You really need to look at getting Starlink or Hughes net especially for emergency and for the camp host.
I’m sure showers would be great for the camper’s who stayed in tents.
Other then that’s it a beautiful peaceful campground, we have stayed here several times

Pretty nice low cost campground. Clean well maintained. Somewhat remote. Tent & RV sites available but limited in number. Water & electric in the RV sites. Dump station available. Some sites not very level. About a foot or so over the length of the longer sites. A few low hanging branches. Road noise.

Campground hosts were great. Sites are flat; outer sites are shady. Restrooms are small with small sink; something to hang toiletries is helpful. No showers, but can use showers at nearby Hurricane Campground.

We really like that Campground! Great place to stop and sleep for the night also if you’re traveling on the road! Very welcoming atmosphere.

For those traveling by RV and request a site with hookup (water and electric) the sites are not level. The camp host we met the next day who was very nice and informative!
There are plenty of awesome trails for hiking. We went just as the season was ending and close to Thanksgiving so we had the place to ourselves; both camping and hiking.
We would definitely return for the miles of trail hiking. If you stay here in a RV, site 11 is the most level and doesn’t require excessive leveling equipment.

Great Host. Wish trails were clear to use. Fallen Trees need to be removed and bridges cleared.
