Full connections. Easy in and easy out from I75. Pull through sites that are very close. There are train tracks that run the whole length of the campground. A train went by at around midnight, then again at 4:30 am. Blowing it's whistle as it passed by the road running out of the back of the campground. Good for the overnight stay. But I wouldn't camp here for leisure.

This is a really quiet campground for a really good price. We were able to park our rig without unhooking from our truck (about 55 feet in total). We were able to book a site same day directly with the owners of the campground. There were bathrooms/a shower house on site, but we did not use them. The site seemed pretty level, and we had 50amp service plus water and sewer hookups.

This Camp Ground is a work in progress. With that being said, it was easy to get to, very peaceful and ideal for a good night's rest. We called for rates and availability and were welcomed and given the information needed by a very courteous and polite gentleman. We only stayed one night, but we were very pleased. Very simple and no fuss campground with easy roads in and out.
