A quaint little campground in the adorable small town of Paxico. Conveniently right off the freeway. The owners were generous and went out of their way to be hospitable and accommodating. Comfortable bathrooms with showers and laundry. Do recommend staying in the unique cabins.

Had a great weekend here with Sisters on the Fly! The camp-host and his wife did a phenomenal job helping our group with everything. The showers and restrooms are very clean. Would stay here again.
Kip Kelley
The new owners are very nice. The only thing I can say bad is the trains that run right next to the campground. We used this campground for it location off of I70. It was the halfway point to our next stop. We would stay here again. Go into the little town and eat at the bar.

Wow!! Beautiful campground! Peaceful & clean. The hospitality of the owners is outstanding! Geoff & his wife go out of their way to make You feel welcome. My RV generator quit working & Geoff took the time to work on it to get it going. I will definitely be returning to this peaceful, beautiful, safe campground!

This campground used to be one of our favorite spots, but ever since the new ownership took over, it’s been a complete letdown. What once felt like a welcoming, family-friendly place has turned into a disorganized mess with rude staff. Customer service is the worst part. The new owners are unprofessional and seem completely uninterested in feedback. Such a shame to see a great place ruined by careless management. We won’t be back, and we’ll be warning our camping friends to steer clear.
