Wonderful place. No power or water. We'll didn't work. Not really an issue. Outhouse was acceptable. Will camp here again.

Large sites, at a fair price, with facilities in need of updates, and some serious landscape maintenance.

This was our second visit to the campground. The sites are overall very nice. Unfortunately, there isn't enough money being spent on facility maintenance, as the bathhouse was a bit deteriorated compared to several years ago. It was functional, but "off-season" cleaning is lacking. The laundry room was closed, obviously for some needed repairs.
