Great campground! Full hookup and WIDE lots. Close to trails. We had no problem getting in or out with our 40 foot motorhome. Excellent customer service.

Amazing! The park is clean and very well organized. Great easy hookups. Entrance to trails closed by. We absolutely loved our time there and enjoyed their events. Everyone was so friendly and sweet. Tip for parent with children with small four wheelers like 90s to 180s if you are looking for beginners trails - might want to stay at eagle rock because they have access to the three easier trail system. Trails 1,2,3. Trail 13 is easy too for those types of bikes.

The cost per night average to $81. There are no discounts available. This is just a campground with no amenities such as pool, WIFI, dog park and etc. The entrance drive into the park is very steep and can only be access coming from the west. The exit drive is also very steep. Both the entrance and exit have large potholes. We saw many trucks and trailers have a hard time exiting the drive. They had to hit the gas which resulted in gravel going everywhere. Everyone cuts through the sites across from the bathrooms as there is no path to the bath house. You prepay for your site so you do not get your site number without calling them. There is no campground map so you just drive around the park to find your site. Due to no campground rules, dogs are not kept on leases and just walk around the park. The sites are large with a large gravel area to park your rig, vehicle, and all other toys. Plenty of space between sites. The sites have edging at ground level with ground lever solar lights on them. It is nice to have the soft lights at night. This is a campground for ATVs. There are signs up that cameras are in use. If they are up and in use, no one monitors them. Many of the ATVs do not follow the posted rule about the 5 MP speed limit and make gravel fly. Some staff do not observe any speed limits. A staff in a red car came driving into the park at a high rate of speed causing dust to fly everywhere. As there is no staff in the campground, no one is monitored to ensure that good camping etiquette is followed. It is a free for all! Many people not staying in the park drive through the park so make sure you lock up everything. There is no security.

Nice big sites. I messed up my reservation date, but they were very accommodating
