Another core of engineering successful and enjoyable stay. The campsites were amazingly big and surrounded by beautiful trees. The shower house and bathroom were very close along with the washers and dryers which were actually free! FREE! I did two loads. We rode our bikes around and had a nice fire. The staff was very helpful and friendly! Would definitely go back

Absolutely love this campground. We have stayed here 8 times over the past year. They were even open through the government shut down. Wow!!! This place is run top notch.

This place is run top notch. The staff are super friendly, always welcoming. Nice paved roads, with concrete sites. Our site is always clean before we arrive. Water and electric is always in working order. Every time we have stayed it has been very quiet, which is a luxury in my opinion. The price is affordable to everyone.

Don’t even try the washers or dryers! 1 washer was labeled out of order and the other one didn’t work either, but was labeled. Neither dryer was labeled. Never saw a host. Please- take pride in what you’re doing. You have a burden of responsibility and others count on that. The surroundings are beautiful and great for walking and biking. I’d love to see the bridge repaired to connect the trails. Don’t even try the washers or dryers! 1 washer was labeled out of order and the other one didn’t work either, but was labeled.

Good location off highway. Campsites are spacious & spread apart site #40 - lake views. Bad smell overnight.?? Camp hosts Dan & Cheryl were great - very helpful & friendly. Bathhouse old - peeling paint - feels dirty & run down - ceiling leaky inside with rain. Only a used bar of soap at sinks. Showers need serious some attention. Water was lukewarm. The floor fills with water. The drain is clogge... Good location off highway. Campsites are spacious & spread apart site #40 - lake views. Bad smell overnight.??

Showers need serious some attention. Water was lukewarm. The floor fills with water. The drain is clogged. Somebody hasn’t cleaned it in some time. As mentioned in other reviews this seems an ongoing issue. not great. Might not stay again because of this. Ugh

We stayed here for just about a week and a half. There campground itself is quiet. Despite there being people around us constantly, we never heard anyone. Our campsite was huge, and the kids had plenty of space to play around it. During our stay we say endless amounts of deer. Overall it was a nice stay.
