A nice campground but certainly not fancy. Could use some updating but clean and has what you need. Bathrooms are clean but the water in the shower takes forever to get hot and has very little pressure and the toilet paper is so thin you’d probably be better off bringing in some leaves from outside LOL. Spots were a little tight to back into with cars parked on the sides and little signs but they’re decently sized once you get into it. Honor system for getting ice and wood after hours if needed just pay in the morning. Convenient location and quiet despite being right beside the highway.

Convenient location. Nice campground with clean and spacious shower/bathroom facilities. This would have been a five star rating, but on my last day there was no hot or even warm water for a shower. Also, the facility provides the thinnest toilet paper I have ever seen. Not very cost effective. Overall a great place that could use a few upgrades.

I travel for work a lot, and during nicer weather, I would much rather be in a campground than a hotel, and figured I'd try this place out. Met Dan a couple times and he was very cordial and pleasant. I stayed in a rustic little cabin, and it was SPOTLESS. They take a lot of care making sure things are clean and in good repair. The only thing I would point out for anyone visiting, is that although their wifi signal is really good, the internet connection is not great. I'm going to say this is of no fault of theirs and likely a provider issue. But you're CAMPING. Put down the phone/tablet/laptop and enjoy this place! Checking in/out was amazingly smooth and easy. I'll spend a lot of time here in the future I believe!

Beautiful campground in a convenient location with simple check-in process, clean and spacious bathrooms, easy electric and water, and generally a safe, clean, and quiet environment. Our dog, and most dogs around the campground, wake up around 7 or 8, so if you're a late sleeper it might not be the place for you. We really appreciated the early quiet hours. Met a few of our neighbors while out walking and everyone was super kind and friendly.

What a nice campground! Sites are large, level and fairly private. There are shrubs and trees between sites which we have never seen before but is so nice. Pool and bathrooms are spotless. At night you could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet and peaceful. Having super fast wifi was a huge plus!! If you’re coming with a family there is no activity center or programs (none while we were there) but the area is full of things to do. We didn’t meet the staff while here but everyone we came across was very friendly. Wonderful campground!
