Had a wonderful stay at this little gem of a campground. Location location this is right there by gas stations, restaurants and the DG market for last minute forgotten items. It does have train tracks next to the property but it gives it a sense of history in this coal mining town. I personally enjoy the sound of a train going by. The owner Bruce was AMAZING! Very welcoming and accommodating. It i... Had a wonderful stay at this little gem of a campground. Location location this is right there by gas stations, restaurants and the DG market for last minute forgotten items. It does have train tracks next to the property but it gives it a sense of history in this coal mining town. I personally enjoy the sound of a train going by. The owner Bruce was AMAZING! Very welcoming and accommodating. It is less than 10 minutes to the Windrock trail head. We will be staying here again. We didn’t use the bathroom much as we were in an RV, but they were clean and warm.

Medium sized campground. 3 concrete sites available. Full hookups 30/50amps. It is near a railroad track. Runs about every 5 hours, wasn’t a problem noise wise. Concrete spots do have a picnic table. Cabins are available for rent. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. Stayed for 3 months. Right off interstate 75. About 35-40 mins from Parkwest Hospital. 1 exit away from walmart.

Nice little campground. Not much for amenities but a quiet place to stay. The owners are absolutely wonderful and super friendly and helpful. They can also move your camper for you if needed.

This is a really quiet campground for a really good price. We were able to park our rig without unhooking from our truck (about 55 feet in total). We were able to book a site same day directly with the owners of the campground. There were bathrooms/a shower house on site, but we did not use them. The site seemed pretty level, and we had 50amp service plus water and sewer hookups.

Full connections. Easy in and easy out from I75. Pull through sites that are very close. There are train tracks that run the whole length of the campground. A train went by at around midnight, then again at 4:30 am. Blowing it's whistle as it passed by the road running out of the back of the campground. Good for the overnight stay. But I wouldn't camp here for leisure.
