This RV campground is quite a distance from a populated area. But we liked that. The price was half what we paid for similar facilities on this trip. And this place had a small dining area with a varied menu of items at very reasonable prices. The food we ordered was excellent. And the site we were in was level! We would definitely stay again!

This place was very convenient for us to sleep and rest and it was not over crowded with people when we got there. Their was plenty of spots available and it had clean office area and bathroom. I got there well after 10 pm I used the front office as no one was available at the time and found the map of the area I wanted which was the tent ares. I paid $20 for the tent area but did not pinch up a tent as it was late and we just slept in our vehicle as it was easily doable for us. Use the front office and fill envelope with cash for the spot used and put into drop box in office and go get some well deserved rest for the road . Book Leger is what I think is for the area with power and water hookups only I think. Prices are listed on the counter in the front office for your convenience.

2 quiet miles off the interstate. Big open field for my dog to run, nice level parking spots. Laundry, showers, WiFi and a little cafe. Nicest owners you'll ever meet.

This was a perfect quick overnight. Surprisingly quiet for how close it is to the highway. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is the weird “check in” system. I booked online (you don’t have to. You can pull in and choose a site) HOWEVER. The site map is not up to date. I chose site 4…when we got there someone long term was in 4. No big deal…we just picked another one and I signed us into that site. Bathroom was clean easy off and on highway. Would revisit.

I reserved a space and paid online prior to my arrival on 6/5/25. When I got there, they had given my reserved space to someone else. They had no record of my reservation regardless of my credit card receipt. I picked another space. Office informed me that they had a restaurant onsite and even offered steak dinners. After traveling for 3 days, I was looking for a good steak dinner. Set up trailer and went for dinner. Ordered 2 New York steak dinners. One rare, one medium rare. We were the only patrons there. It took nearly 30 minutes to get our dinners and both were overcooked to medium-well to well done. I did not eat one bite of my steak. I asked for a raw steak that I could cook in my trailer. "Oh, the steaks we have are all frozen and all stuck together!". They would not make me happy. NEVER AGAIN! Customer service means a lot, and they failed!!!
