Stayed in mid October. Leaves changing colors. Sites spacious enough. Big rig friendly. Quiet. The highway is close, but blocked by a large hill, so very little noise.

Nice park, right off the highway with easy access. We stayed there a month (site 25). Site were a good length and level. We'd definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

We loved this campground just off I81 / I77, and with it being surrounded by cow pastures, there's no highway noise. We were in #2 which was right next to where RVs sit while checking in, so that was noisy at times. Sites are level, nice place to walk around with the dog, check in was easy, and it was quiet at night.

The owner operators took great care of us! We had a late check-in and arrived after dark. They arranged for us to have front slots which was very handy as we were travel weary

This place is so easy to get to. It was an overnight stop in the first leg of our two week RV adventure. Every spot is easy to get in and out of with plenty of space, has a nice picnic table under a concrete slab. The water pressure is great and the electric reliable. It’s situated in the middle of mountainous farms and is beautiful, relaxing and stress free! The bathrooms were very clean and spac... This place is so easy to get to.
