If you are looking for a quiet get away and want to unplug then this is the place for you. The campground was outstanding and the bathroom facilities were very nice and always clean.

Other campers were obnoxiously loud. Running up and down the road, yelling, singing, and running what sounded like a blender until 3am. We left a day early due to no sleep.

Bathrooms were clean, sites were spotless and many had been updated over the winter. New picnic tables and fire pits too! Best of all were the new camp hosts. They were very friendly and helpful.
