No problem getting a 40 foot, class A parked. Dump for free when you pay to stay for $15 a night. Only $2 to dump for non-campers. No paved sites and self leveling required.

Beautiful campground, very nice restroom and shower house. Pull in and park wherever you want to in the park (no designated spots) makes it easy for groups or if you want to secluded yourself. Awesome recreational trail that leads to the Fayette County Freedom Rock and downtown Fayette. Volga River access for tubing and kayaking (when the river is up). Playground for the kids and three large shelt... Beautiful campground, very nice restroom and shower house.
