Love this campground especially since they have done the spots to camp on. Quiet and pretty. Nice bathrooms and showers. Playground is new and kids love it . I used to like it but when people are parking vehicles on a spot and not bring their camper til a few days later is wrong. Your rules say a camper has to be put on site within 30 minutes after filling out information . No reserving. That’s ju... Love this campground especially since they have done the spots to camp on.

Your rules say a camper has to be put on site within 30 minutes after filling out information . No reserving. That’s just not right when a camper drives a ways only to find out a truck is taking the last spot. I think we need to be able to call ahead and reserve a spot

Cheap Camping $10 Non Electric. $15 Electric Campground is mostly nice and quiet. But... A combination of bathroom and shower facilities not being cleaned in an entire week mixed with grown men who pee "on" the toilet instead of "in" the toilet makes it hard to give the 5 stars this park is easily capable of.

Great little find for a nice camping site. Grass covered sites with picnic table and fire pit. Bathroom was new well kept showers were wonderful. Price at $10/ night non electric. Theree was only one draw back black bugs while eating. 15 mins. Otherwise a great spot.

Bennett park is clean, quiet and is generally not very busy. I like walking and running on the trails. The trails could be better maintained as some are lined with fast growing thorny shrubs.
