A quiet medium sized park with spacious pull through and back in full hook up sites. Set in a mixed grove of large spaced evergreen and deciduous trees. The bathhouse is clean, modern, and functional and contains 2 bathrooms, 4 toilet/shower suites, and a laundry which costs $2.50 for the wash and $1.50 to dry. No highway or train noise.

I have never been to such a quiet, peaceful campground! The facilities were great and the staff was very welcoming and a pleasure to chat with. The shower/rec building was super nice. Will definitely be back.

Nice campground, big spaces lots of trees and fairly quiet. There is a small playground for kids and a ping-pong table in a room, which is kind of nice $40 for one night. They charge even if you don’t use them. There is one washer and dryer and four shower rooms. They are all up-to-date and clean.

This is a gem! We stayed here for a month and had a wonderful time! The sites are very spacious! The manager and his wife are the sweetest folks ever. If we are back in the area this will be the spot we choose to stay again. Very quiet and clean campground.

We don't travel and live in our travel trailer so that plays heavily into this review. This is the first campground in 10+ years of camping in multiple states that picks your site for you. Some sites are spaced nicely, but we had other folks placed pretty much on top of us. There are also street lights that light up everything; we had one immediately in front of us that kept our site, and our trailer, lit up all night. The layout of the place makes me wonder if it was once used as housing for the nearby - now decommissioned - Air Force base. On the plus side, I believe all sites are full hookup. The downside to that is when an electric-only site is all you really need for a weekend, you're still paying $40/night. We had no problems with water pressure, and the sewer connection was... well... a sewer connection. There are also shower and laundry facilities on site, but I can't comment on those as we had no use for either. Most sites appear level, and the grounds are mowed & tidy with a lot of mature trees. The hosts were friendly and allowed us to leave our trailer parked well into the afternoon on our check-out day due to a late soccer game. They even held onto my brand new Leatherman I foolishly left behind in our site until we were able to return to pick it up. We chose to stay here for a weekend soccer tournament rather than find a hotel, and could see doing the same in the future. It's fine as a travel stop, but not someplace I would necessarily choose for a getaway weekend.
