Plenty of room, well kept, the price is right and helpful staff. It's kinda out of the way, but there's not much to choose from in the area.

Grabbed a spot here, very last minute! But they were the nearest campground to where we were. The campground i had reserved, didn't seem to exist!

Our family of 4 stayed here in a cabin! It was such a great stay, quiet and relaxing. The staff is amazing and helped answer all of our questions about the area. The kids loved the playground, and the fire pit. They even have firewood to sell so we didn’t have to lug wood around on our trip. Definitely will be back!

Great and friendly people run the campground, make sure your setup and help guide your spot camper lining you up with electic and sewer hookups. They check and see if you are doing ok. Very friendly, peacful, quiet. The creek is shallow and great for kids to play and fish. Plus, our dog loves to walk through the creek. Could not ask for a better place to go camping. ... there is also a restaurant here with great tasting food, nice size portions, and the BEST chocolate cake in the world
