Nice site with bath house. Just off the trail. Full hookups only suggestion is a better atv wash station, it didn't really do much for getting the dirt off.

Great score of a campground. $10 for a tent. Nice close pavilion to get out of the rain. $1 for a 5 minute hot shower. Flush toilets. Well kept facility. Clean and quiet. Across the street from the trail. Definitely worth staying at again.

The campground has full hookups and is right on the trail. The price is very nice! Unfortunately they ripped out all of the trees recently in order to expand the campground. We were a little disappointed in that. No shade for our campsites anymore. But I understand growth. We would still return. Nice and quiet even with being on the trail.
