Stopped in on my way to Utah. Very friendly and easy to communicate with! Bathrooms were very clean and nice. Felt safe . The only negative would be noise from highway. But it did not keep me up.

The staff is friendly and helpful. Sites are spacious. It is just off the highway, which is great for one-night then hit the road travelers. Restrooms are superior -- clean and bright. Thanks for a great campground!

We made a last minute reservation and these folks couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating. Put us in a space easy to find in the dark. Level spots. So clean and well maintained. Activities for families like cornhole, horseshoes, volleyball and paddle boats. Highly recommend this beautiful spot for RV camping.

I don't know why this place has anything less than 5 stars. If you are looking for a place to rest for the night after driving, this place is great. It's close enough to the interstate to not feel out of the way and far enough from the interstate to not hear all the traffic. The staff was so nice and I love that we were able to check in late. The bathrooms were some of the cleanest and most updated we've seen. I felt comfortable and like if I didn't have shower shoes, it would still be ok. I did have shower shoes, but you get the point. It was super clean and nice. The campground itself is nice, the spots were spaced out, the grounds are well kept, the dog park looked well kept, and there's benches and swings throughout the park. If I was going to be visiting in the area, I'd stay here more than one night. But we pass through once a year so this just became the place we'll stop at whenever we are passing through.

This a wonderful campground right off of I80. Surprising quite quiet for its proximity to the interstate. It’s beautifully landscaped with a pond we watched someone fish from. They have playground equipment and lawn games. We are traveling with friends and we’re easily able to have sites next to each other. The restrooms were very clean. The gentleman in the office was engaging, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
