This review is for the excellence, care, and communication of one of the owners, Kathy. I wrote her to inquire about some specifics to my situation, and she took a lot of time and energy to make sure she kindly, thoughtfully, and thoroughly answered my unique questions. Her honesty meant I would likely not spend as much money at her campground, and she knew that. The five star review is for her...

Photos from other visitors also look amazing. Also, I'm grateful for any women business owners who create a sanctuary for other women!! Women only campgrounds are such a great idea. Grace and peace.

Just came back from camping 🏕. We had a great time. Kathy and Wynn are the nicest host you could ask for. A fire was going most of the time, very clean cabins/campers/bathrooms and grounds. They even showed a movie outside at night. If I could rate them higher I would! Thank you for such a great weekend!

Awesome women's only campground. Right on the water with a fishing/kayak launching dock. A few cabins, RV and tent sites. A possibly some of the best sunrises and sunsets to be seen.

We LOVED camping here! Primitive camping. Very quiet and peaceful with the sound of the river across the road. It was clean. The bathroom was scary but it's camping so spiders are expected. We will definitely camp here again.

Tent camped here 9/17/19. Candles and spoons used to cook drugs were laying about which I cleaned up. Vault toilets are infested with spiders and wasps so I used the woods instead. No level tent sites. Very quiet on weekday night though. Giving it one star due to being a drug hangout. Best to continue up Telico River Rd to one of the other campgrounds.

Plenty of access to water, fishing, plenty of deer sighting if you arrive early at day light, of friends people just wanting to talk. Lots of bike riding areas and picnic sights.
