Booked site 10 for Memorial Day weekend showed up and there was no picnic table as advertised, pretty disappointing. We were able to switch to site 7 which did have a table but both sites had virtually zero shade and had not been kept up at all. Will not be staying there again.

The camp host was absolutely delightful! Loved her so much! So helpful and so kind. The campsites themselves are not private. Very open and exposed.

Great little campground. Not too noisy and only a few campsites which made it feel like a more secluded experience. No water though, which is never great, but you just come prepared and it's fine. Bathroom was shockingly clean for a campground. Lots of trails in the area. Love!
