We may have found one of our go to campgrounds! We had a lot down by the creek, which was perfect! It was spacious, beautiful, and peaceful! Plenty of space for kids to ride their bikes around also, and the playground is huge!

Out of every place I've been camping, I think this place is the best. Even when they're at their busiest, you don't feel crowded ( at least rustic camping). The staff is always friendly, and the rates are very reasonably priced.

Saw this on a YouTube video made by some motorcycle campers. It looked scenic, they liked the site, and the location suited my motorcycle trip. Unfortunately I didn't check the rates. $38 seems like a lot for a basic tent site (no electric) + $20 key deposit to get through gate after 7PM. Cash only was somewhat inconvenient. I definitely was NOT a happy camper when my key DID NOT OPEN THE GATE when I returned at 7:50 PM. Because I had left my side bags at the site, I was narrow enough to squeeze between the end of the gate and the big rock. The next downside I experienced here was the truck noise. The campground is close enough to US6 that truck noise is pretty annoying. Because rain was predicted to start at nine, I got packed and was leaving then as the rain in fact started right on schedule. Unfortunately, the office was closed, so I couldn't get my $20 key deposit back unless I stood in the rain and waited for an hour. Several days later as I was heading home, I took a detour to get my $20. I won't come here again and I won't recommend it to any friends, but it is worth noting the the bathrooms were clean and the whole campground seemed pretty tidy and generally well run.
