KATHY GODWIN
Beautiful place to stay and the tubing down the creek was enjoyable. Campsites are very spacious. The restrooms/shower house were very clean and air conditioned. The only downfall is the flies were horrible. I’ve never seen so many flies in my life. It was very hard to sit outside and enjoy the time because the flies were all over everything.

Camped here for 3 weeks in March and cant say enough on how relaxing it was. Many lakes and some great hiking. The river has seasonal tubing that looked like it would be a blast once it warmed up. Great price per nite with extra large camp site's

Very nice place to hang out for quality nature time with the family and children. The entry fee was $5/person. The employee was nice and courteous. They have a really good spot to enjoy the creek. Small lakes and ponds for fishing. Big general trails for carts and bikes. The playground was good for the kids. The restrooms were great. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Will definitely go again back.
