Really enjoyed this secluded and quiet camp ground. Our site was clean and the host was friendly. Wind blew through the tall trees which was so peaceful and relaxing, it was a great location

This was such a great little campground! The spots were shaded and lovely, there was space to spread out, but also everything was reasonably close. The camp hosts were attentive to good and bad behavior, whipping around when someone was loud after quiet time, or checking on folks to make sure they didn't need wood or anything else. The bathrooms were kept well, like pit toilets aren't the best, but these were clean and well-maintained. Less than a five minute walk to the water, and the whole area, just seemed like a cozy little get-away. We car camped, and it was perfect for tent and RV and car camping. We will definitely be back to stay again!
