Secluded off the beaten path group site. No services (internet) no hookups. Cute, nice secluded campground about four miles of the 34. Paved though. Cross a little creek and the camp site is all yours. Reserve. Not cheap. Vault toilets were very clean, even floor surprisingly with all the Pine needles and slight breeze. Stocked. Campground was clean and freshly mowed, you could tell someone’s... Secluded off the beaten path group site. No services (internet) no hookups.

Campground was clean and freshly mowed, you could tell someone’s working hard to trim or weed eat the blackberries and blow everything off. Much different than last few years we have been there. There is a small pavilion there. Never saw host though. Like other campgrounds.

Fantastic!!!! My kids and friends rent every year for almost 10 yrs over the 4th of July. Wonderful spot and the caretakers are fantastic and keep the restrooms spotless. Never had any troubles. Its close to the coast so you can drive right over and watch the fireworks.

this is a real nice place or it used to be before it became a money trap . used to go here all the time but the group only reservation killed it. Im an army vet and hate to see nice things institutionalized. Whoever did the law change sucks , law needs to be changed. Why can only people with lots of money go here ? Put in a army veteran as a camp host and stay out of my recreation areas . people... this is a real nice place or it used to be before it became a money trap . used to go here all the time but the group only reservation killed it.

Kind of stumbled across this place, it's a group campground, says reservation only but the gate was open. The creek runs around the outer edge, it's mostly maintained but expect to do some work if you drive there.
