Very nice, quiet, RV park on a cattle ranch. Very idyllic. You can watch the cattle graze in the fields. Check in was easy.

This really is a great family campground. We have been coming here for years. This is the first time ill be leaving a 4 star instead of 5 review. The bathrooms!!! Kept running out of toilet paper and needed cleaning. I told staff times there was no TP. There solutions is 1 roll of TP in each of the 6 stalls for the entire day. They have tp holders that hold 3 rolls each but instead of filling the holders the set 1 roll on top and called it a day. Disappointing to say the least. Do better! ****ALSO, the state of the FLAG OF THE UNTITED STATES is quite disgraceful! It should not be torn an tattered. Either replace it or take it down

This is a very nice campground with amenities that fit various needs from tent sites, a couple of cabins, RV sites with full hookups, etc. The scenery is beautiful year round with lots of green grass, trees, a swimming & fishing pond, & a pet walking trail that winds between Hat Creek & the large pond. Nice little store, clean bathrooms, etc. great place to relax.
