Good place to camp! They have bathrooms and showers just in case you don't want to use your camper for that. Seems like you're less than a half hour away from anything that you want to do. At least it was like that for us. 😀
Awesome Campground! I spent a week here, loved it. Mike the owner takes great pride in the Campground. The grounds are meticulously maintained. All sites are full hook ups. Sites are large and lots of privacy. Mike is a great source for local information, places to visit, where to fish sites to see. Rates are more than reasonably. Much of the Campground is wooded offering lots of shade and it's quiet! I've thoroughly enjoyed my visit.
The man that owns this campground is amazing and so nice. My car over heated and I didn't have service to call for help and he welcomed me into his home and let me use his phone and stay out of the rain and snow as I waited for help. So very thankful for his kindness!
Tiny sites. Couldnt even really set up yard games. Nowhere to park. Seemed like the majority of campers are seasonals with nice decks and their own lp tanks. There is a little pond where the kids caught a bunch of fish at least.
Clean, organized, friendly campers, limited space so call ahead!
