What a lovely campground!! So special and really nice facilities. Very accessible and peaceful. Cell service and WiFi are good there too if you don’t want to go totally off the grid.

Our Ski Club group uses this campground annually for one huge adult camping weekend! We always have a great time. The group site is large and flat. No desiginated sites. No hookups but some electrical outlets are available if you have a RV.
Al Dickinson
A nice place to camp weather you are alone or like us, holding an annual event there for 4 days. Just make sure you dress warmly because the nights are surprisingly cold. Good for sleeping once you get used to it. The relatively new bathroom and shower areas are great, just be aware where they are located as to where you set up your camp for those middle of the night visits. The covered eating areas are well kept up and clean and the staff very helpful

Nice flat areas under a large number of oak trees. New restrooms to accompany the open picnic seating tables under large shelter. Has a few electrical panels.
