Lovely campground, very peaceful. Actually saw several owls! Also, perhaps the best camp host we’ve encountered. Helpful, made available a bunch of his own maps and books, and super friendly. Bathrooms were very clean and shockingly not smelly for vault toilets

We stayed at site 13 and thought it was a great spot for river access. All shade, great campground, clean, host was awesome. Only a very small/limited river access directly next to the camp but still nice for the kids. There is so much forest surround this site, you really are in the middle of nowhere. Lots of wildlife. Plenty of hiking nearby. Lakes nearby would make great day time activities if you drive there from the campground. Large camp spaces. Dog friendly. Zero cell service.

Best camp host ever. We’ve had him as camp host at other campgrounds previous years and we’re excited to find him here. He really gets to know the area and has tons of information. He is active in patrolling and making sure everyone is having a wonderful experience.

Our camp host Jason was THE BEST.
Full of information about the area. Eagerly sharing tips . He was delightful and helpful. I was camping with an injury and he chopped my firewood! Above and beyond his job description . He cares about the Forrest and does all he can help people be safe and have a great experience.
I have booked another stay for this weekend.

The host was very helpful and the site was clean
My main concern was that the road to the campsites were daily filled with bikes and Razor Scooters being ridden by youth racing round and round and round the campgrounds
It made the stay stressful and noisy with the only quite time being after dark!
