Can not rave any more about how nice this place is. The hosts are also very nice and do a great job keeping this place nice. They have working and hot showers and flushable toilets. There is more than 1 restroom location with flushing toilets and showers. Very dog friendly. For hikers or those not staying here they offer showers for $5 for non campers. The hosts are super nice. Be sure to not be rude and arrive before 930pm. The views and camp sites were all great and very wooded ( not the open in a field type). Good space and double lots are available. There are electric and non electric sites. Some also offer water hook up for rv's etc, dump station available as well. This was very pleasant. We could fish a few steps from out site. We could easily hike from our site. Great rates too! The swim area was great, edited to add it is weekends only in August. Lots of mushroom hunting on trails too!

Had an amazing stay here! The camp hosts are the nicest, friendliest and most gracious people! Put me in a great spot where it was peaceful and quiet, exactly what i needed! The facilities were very clean!! The hosts checked on everyone just enough and were quick to assist! Thank you for a much needed respite! My pooch and I WILL be back❤️

Just stayed here for the first week in May. We got a double lot which was awesome! It has two separate electric plug ins and what made this campground real unique to any other one I have ever stayed at, was that each site had its own water spicket. (or at least I saw for the electric sites around us. We stayed at site 2 it was very nice) The hosts were so friendly and just did a few drive rounds during the day, so it never felt invasive. The man even graciously helped up with getting our camper on hitch when we had trouble. His wife (I'm assuming) gave us color packets for fires for the kiddos. Clean bathrooms and overall, just beautiful grounds with plenty of space and trees between sites. Couple tips.... Lock up your cooler at night, the racoons will pay you a visit at night. Had no service with T-Mobile. Friend with Verizon had great service. Bring cash to pay for site, firewood, and ice and be sure to bring small bills as there is no way to get smaller change

Beautiful, quiet campground with lots of nature and trees for shade. The managers and camp hosts are very friendly. Main bath house is very clean and well kept. Camp sites are clean and spacious. Definitely recommend this campground off the beaten path. Oh, and the beach is a nice feature as well!
