Small quiet campground. You can ride your ATV/UTV into and out of the campground, which was very convenient on our 500 mile overland trip. All grass sites. Bathrooms are showing their age, but they were clean. They have firewood for sale at $5 bundle. The young lady that checked us in was very nice.

One of the very few that have cell service in the area. The lady at the office was so sweet. The only complaint i have is, the bathrooms were not kept up. I was there 3 or 4 days and it wasn't cleaned at all. The trash was over flowing onto the floor. My Husband said the men's bathroom had a few toilets unusable because " a plumber needed to come" but that note was left in July. So for 2 month...

So for 2 months a couple of the toilets were clogged and stunk real bad. It was a quiet place.

Our lot was very small for a 36 footer and with a sewer pipe that was way too high it was Difficult to get water and sewage to run up hill.The grass was at least 6” high in most spots and looked like it hadn’t been trimmed all season.we complained about the sewer and she claimed she was full which we found out that was not true as all week she had several nice lots With no one on them.She did give us back five dollars a day because of the sewer and did finally cut the grass some towards the end of our stay. Definitely not a well maintained park and we will never be back and we were all totally dissatisfied because we had made a reservations approximately 10 months in advance we had eight couples and she put four of them together on one end and for them together on the other end when we had asked that we all be together and she had the lots to put us on, but didn’t! We will not be back !!! Also never seen the owners or management of this establishment

I was traveling off-season and was having a hard time finding an open campground—most places around here were still closed and didn’t have any amenities.

The place was clean, accessible, and exactly what I needed at the time. Very grateful they were open—definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area!
