Hmmm... Let's start with the positives... This campsite has a private bathroom (outhouse) that's clean and very nice. The site itself has two very nice areas for tents plus ample parking. Plus, while not relevant to our group, there are stables colocated with this site... The reality is that this site is only about 200 feet away from the highway. There is lots of traffic overnight and the road noise is [usually] notable. In our case, that wasn't an issue as the wind was blowing at 40 - 60 mph from the opposite direction, so the traffic wasn't notable. The challenge is that the site is in complete solitude; there are no other sites nearby. This might be considered good by some, but when a truck drove by our campsite at 2AM, this was considered more of a risk / security concern for the females in our group. There is absolutely zero solace from the wind... As we've learned, the extreme winds are somewhat of a common occurrence in this area... Our tent did survive the night, but the poles are all very bent, so the wind is VERY real... So, I'm not complaining, but I did want to share our experience just to give you more insight into this particular campsite... Good luck!
