My husband and I brought our RV for a quick get away. This is my honest assessment of this location. 1) RV slip was so small, we were on top of other campers. We could sit outside and here people in the next RV. 2) if you have anything over a 15ft don’t come. Tight turns and again on top of each other. 3) at night this place is pitch black - not cool at all. Had to run to the car, tripping over... My husband and I brought our RV for a quick get away.

Had to run to the car, tripping over everything. 4) picnic tables (plastic) are in horrible condition, cracked with holes 5) too many trees to have to maneuver around to park. Again see point 2 6) RV slots the ground uneven. 7) $45,00 and no full hook ups. Would not have an issue with that if everything else was ok. Needless to say we will NOT be back.

Very beautiful cabins. You can pay for your camper, tent, cabins, and lodges for bigger groups. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Pet friendly. I have a puppy pitbull/husky mix and a Blue nose she is 4 or 5 years old. As long as you're dog is not a barker you will be able to have your pets there.

We stayed in a cabin for 3 nights and it was clean and cozy. The bathhouse was kept really clean, the outdoor sink area was great for dishes, and the sites are really nice. Also a nice playground area for the grands to play and a fenced in dog area for the pups to run! We will visit again
