My husband and I brought our RV for a quick get away. This is my honest assessment of this location. 1) RV slip was so small, we were on top of other campers. We could sit outside and here people in the next RV. 2) if you have anything over a 15ft don’t come. Tight turns and again on top of each other. 3) at night this place is pitch black - not cool at all. Had to run to the car, tripping over everything. 4) picnic tables (plastic) are in horrible condition, cracked with holes 5) too many trees to have to maneuver around to park. Again see point 2 6) RV slots the ground uneven. 7) $45,00 and no full hook ups. Would not have an issue with that if everything else was ok. Needless to say we will NOT be back.

Very beautiful cabins. You can pay for your camper, tent, cabins, and lodges for bigger groups. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Pet friendly. I have a puppy pitbull/husky mix and a Blue nose she is 4 or 5 years old. As long as you're dog is not a barker you will be able to have your pets there.
