Nice play area for kids, small RV camping with first come first serve, and pre-register electric spots. The best part is the beauty of the sunset!
Very beautiful place to camp. The host, Sharon and her husband, Larry, were very nice and helpful. Stayed four nights. Loved it.
The pit toilets were very nice, clean and large. With hand sanitizer and plenty of toilet paper. Fairly quiet locally but trains and barges do run at night and a few helicopters and airplane's fly over in the day time.
Very little signage, so hard to figure out the sites. We had site 023 it is grass no gravel for camper pad. The power is a long ways from the site. If we pulled back any further we were going to run over the tent in the lot behind us. Our power cord was still a foot or two short. There was no table at our site. It said it had a fire pit but the only pit was right next to the tent behind us. So we could not use it. Maybe the tent was in the wrong place but who knows due to the poor markings of any of the sites. The views, the cemetery, and the rest of the park is nice. So much vast open room but the camper lots are on top of each other. Called the host/ranger and never got a call back. Never saw the host all weekend. Very beautiful area to visit. After walking around we noticed some of the spots are amazing but ours was not.
Wow this is a hidden gem especially in the spring when other campgrounds in the area can flood in the early camping season. It's a first come campground meaning no reservations. Electric only but water is near by and a dump station for RV campers. Jerry and Sharon the camp ground hosts are very nice and there to answer questions about the area for you. Be careful to look for widow-makers as the beautiful trees are in need of a good trimming.
