It’s a busy campground in the summer with lots of large groups getting multiple sites near each other. However the site itself was large with a lot of shade and right across from the creek. It also has a clean water spout across from it and is not too far from the bathrooms. I would recommend it to others.

We’ve been coming to this campground for years, and every time we visit, we know exactly what we’re getting—a true tent camping experience where you can unplug and enjoy nature. If you’re looking for luxury camping, this probably isn’t the place. If you’re looking for a simple, peaceful place to pitch a tent and make memories with family, it definitely is. I’m currently here tent camping with my stepdaughter and granddaughter, and we’re having a wonderful time. The campground attendant has been exceptionally kind, welcoming, and helpful. He genuinely cares about the campers and works hard to keep everything running smoothly, and that deserves to be recognized. Like anywhere these days, you may encounter people making poor choices, whether it’s drinking or other behavior. Unfortunately, that’s not unique to this campground and isn’t something the staff can completely control. We choose to focus on what matters most: spending quality time together outdoors, making memories, and appreciating the beautiful setting. Thank you to the campground attendant for your kindness and hard work. We appreciate everything you do and will gladly continue coming back.
