It's a great camping site and/or a day trip for families. The trails are super easy for children. And the creek with spring water is really fun to play in after a hot day's hike. Bathrooms are clean, even though there are no shower stalls.

Primative camping. Great little spot during the week. There are not too many spots where you aren't crowded out by RVs and generators. No showers but flush toilets and running sinks. Cold water. Water is available in each section with a pump spigot.

Clean, beautiful, inexpensive, and not many mosquitoes! The spring is gorgeous. Little fish everywhere. Didn't see any snakes or undesired critters. They also have restrooms which are fairly clean.
