Great campground. Only thing is that you have to bring in your own water. In the last 3 out of 4 years , the pump has only been working one year. We always do just in case

Vaults were clean, sites were nice, and the campground was quiet. We didn't have any cell service which was great because we could actually unplug for a couple of days while exploring the area.

The water spigot handle is broken so there is no potable water available. Bugs were horrible, we left covered in fly, mosquito, and ant bites. Nice roomy sites that had privacy from the site next to it and the bathrooms were well maintained and cleaned, camp host is wonderful!

The campsite was pretty, but the camp host was very strange. He came flying up to us at our site in his golf cart, very heated, asking if we had a reservation. I said yes, he looked at me very skeptically, and said, “Here? At this campground?” I said yes again. He again said, “Here at this campground? What is your site number?” I pointed to the site marker and said, “11 loop A.” He smiled smugly and shook his head as though he had caught me in a lie. I said, “Is there a different loop?” He ignored this and said, “So you're staying through Sunday?” I said no, that I had only reserved the site for one night. He again smugly shook his head and said,” and you're name is Sara?” I said no… he chuckled and said “you dont have a reservation here.” I got out my phone and showed him my reservation confirmation. He got out some papers he had printed out and showed me that his spread sheet he made said otherwise. I told him that I paid for the reservation, and he said, “fine I don't know what we will do when the other people show up.” They never showed up. I'm sure he made a mistake while making his spreadsheet, but why was he so sure I wasn't Sara to begin with anyway? I might have left if we had not been driving six hours that day with three young children in the car. It was all very strange.

The campground was sparsely populated, even on a late July weekend. The amenities were spartan--clean pit toilets, and a hand pump for water, which I tried, but couldn't get to work. (We brought plenty of potable water with us, so it didn't affect us directly.) My advice would be to bring your own water, or have a plan in case you run out. I'd stay here again; I liked the remote feeling and the non-crowds. And the price is right too!
