Very nice area. We were rained out, but the pavilion saved us a ton of grief. The trails are nice and the area is very well maintained.

We had a wonderful time. The camp sites were clean and the environment was peaceful, except, lol, when our dog Tops was barking. Great place to come for the day or to go camping.

Main area was easy to find and had a cute gift shop as well as friendly and knowledgeable staff. We went to the off road area for the day and had a blast, trails were well marked and easy to navigate and so much fun to take the jeep on!
