**Warning** Was excited to come here with family and spend time bonding, camping and making memories but instead was treated/talked to HORRIBLY by the owner who had obviously gotten us confused with someone else because he showed up at our door REEKING of alcohol, calling us names and speaking vulgarity in front of children/women forcing us to leave. Banging on our door, screaming, even threatening us until we had to leave in the middle of night! Never returning here please think twice especially if bringing kids:( waste of money

*(Edited below) Very clean ground, showers and bathrooms. Owner was very nice and came over and introduced himself and invited us back. We loved it. *Edit (7 years later): While Kregg, the owner, is still a great guy, friendly and hospitable, and the campground is quiet, unfortunately the cleanliness of it has really gone downhill. We camp every year since posting the original review 7 years ago. It used to be that some of the seasonal residents would mop the showers and clean the bathrooms. I haven't noticed that in several years. The showers have mildew, mold, cobwebs and dirt. There was an ashed cigarette in the soap dish, dirty underwear and socks on the floor in the bathroom walkway. In 6 days time, the counters in the bathroom were not wiped, nor were the toilets cleaned. Would love to come back, but only if it gets cleaned up a bit.

Cheap, no frills camping. Bare minimum anenities. Toilet and shower house. Dump station and trash dumpster. Oh, there is a big Pavillion for a large gathering way out back.

We like it here. It’s nice and quiet. The sites are large. Not much to do though.

Made reservations several months ago. Owner does not take CC info to reserve spot. Arrived and were told walk ins had taken all the spots and park was full. All other parks were full, due to a softball tournament in the area. Ended up sharing a lot with a homeless tenter, which was awkward. Lots of seasonals, several homeless sites, unkempt, unorganized owner. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!
