This campsite is always a blast! The group site is well worth reserving and it provides such a fun place for family, and kids, to get out and be a part of nature.

Maybe 1.5 miles off the hwy. The dirt/gravel road going in was a bit worrisome pulling a 24' camper, but all was good. We reserved the group campground -- wonderful! A walk-thru of the campground showed multiple sites our camper would have fit. Lots of trees for shade. It rained the night before we left and again, worried if the road was too muddy. Slid a little in camp but plenty of gravel on the road so all was well. We would come back again!
