I live out West and I camp for free whenever I want. I hate paying for camping but I did enjoy the park, the camping spots, the calm and peace of the campground. Most of the spots are spread out. There is shade in most of the spots and plenty of firewood in the park to consume from down trees. The spots with lake views are very relaxing. The camp staff were friendly and helpful.

As of 7/2/24, this campground was closed, but with no signage stating its status. The grounds appear to have not been maintained at all this season.
