Cute little campground with a wonderful host. It was perfect for an overnight stay. There is a biking trail you can pick up just across the street and runs 72 miles. We walked several miles and found it peaceful and lovely.

Very friendly folks and excellent service. The only reason this is not a full on 5 star is you can hear the Hwy, but it’s very convenient as well. The sites all have nice little grassy area. No gravel. Very reasonable cost. Water and electricity hook up. A lot of green space around the campground. Just a minute to town to stalk up on supplies. 5 star showers and laundry. Moose are frequent visitors.

Truly a life saver location and family owned spot when my family had a last minute cancellation issue with our trip back home to MT (truck trailer camping). The owners never hesitated to help us out and even gave us a killer deal, which was so generous as we were given a great spot with full hookups and my 5yo son was able to enjoy his camp fire time before bed. Still a quaint and wonderful spot for how close it was to the interstate, I pray this spot stays open for many more years to come for all to enjoy as we did. We can’t thank them enough and keeping humanity peaceful in such a cute little location. Bless the owners!!!

You can still camp in nature without having to drive 30 minutes to town because you didn't bring enough bug spray. The owner is amazing and she picked the best staff!! I will come here again for sure.
