Really nice campground. I like it better than the state park. Sites are big. Electric and water. Bathroom is clean. Trash dumpster is close by. Entrance starts at 1 pm.

I have been here for a month and Camp grounds are nice love the view at night. It's quite and peaceful. The one downfall is this one lady at the security gate. She is just flat out rude and unfriendly. I don't understand why they would continue to put this woman where she works with the public at all. She would be the reason I wouldn't come back.

There's no way pictures can do this place justice. It's absolutely incredibly beautiful. The volunteer staff were amazing too! I really just can say enough good things to adequately describe this place.

Only reason I'm rating this one star is cuz it doesn't give the option for no stars. Wife paid for an RV spot that is supposed to facilitate up to 45 ft but upon arrival my toy hauler would not fit in the assigned camp spot and with the offices closed at that point we were not able to stay. Came back the next morning to explain the situation and all seemed well until they tried to charge me for another night because it's my fault my RV wouldn't fit. Most establishments with any sort of class would have comped the night in a different spot suitable for my fifth wheel or issued a refund neither was the case. I have to wait a week and hope I can catch a manager to even plead my case to get my refund. If you want to spend $32 to go ahead and stay at home anyway I highly recommend.
