We held my daughter's wedding here. It was beautiful and well maintained. The hosts ensured it was ready for us and explained all the ins and outs. We were very satisfied with the location and pleasantly surprised that refuse removal was part of the amenities included with the payment of fees.

Great facility, wonderful staff host from nearby campsite. This spring (2023) was unusually wet and the weather in early June did not comply - but the campground itself was great.

Overall it is a very nice campsite. We found out on the 3rd day that we weren’t allowed to park our trailers in the grass. They had to parked on the road. Also I would bring your own sign to hang on the gate saying the site is reserved.
