Big signs saying "Welcome Home." Indeed, a very at home feeling. Wife and I loved the whole area. World class riding, unbeatable scenery.

First of all, I want to thank John, the manager of this place, because he was very happy to help us. He was very kind and attentive to us. This is my second time visiting this place. Both times we stayed in a tent. The tent camping area has electricity and water. Those who ride ATVs can leave from there with their ATVs, as the trails are literally behind them.

My annual birthday motorcycle camping trip is each year here during CMA COLORS rally. Good bathhouses, always clean and having power at my hammock tent is great. Perfect location to ALL the great motorcycle roads.

First time ever writing a review but this place absolutely deserves a glowing review. The staff are great to deal with, the facilities are top notch, and you can not beat the price. I've stayed with them two times now and will continue to come back.
