We had an amazing time with our 2 dogs and 8 month old. Campgrounds and trains were well maintained!

The RV sites were really nice. The water was out and the restrooms and showers were closed when we arrived. We were able to get potable water and made it just fine. Hopefully the new host does better than his predecessor. Even had the facilities been working, we would not have used them. They were not clean and are in serious need of repair and updates. Excluding the facilities, the campground is very pleasant and quiet.

This is a nice campground. Very spacious between sites, wide concrete pads and plenty of shade. But 4 star may be generous because I have to ding it for a couple issues. Bathrooms are dated but passable, however, repairs to broken shower heads doesn’t seem too much to ask. Second, the campground loop road is very narrow which is not too big a deal. But I’m dinging the road for the several chewed up edges. Overhanging trees are currently well maintained. I will return.

We loved our site 13 however, the restrooms next to us were out of order. We still had water and electric at our site and loved our view. The restroom wasn't a deal breaker, we would stay at the same site if available next time.

The facilities bathroom and showers) are a little outdated and need improvements made to them. Look for the little sign on the far left at the stop sign to direct you to the campsites.
