Pretty great place to camp except there were no hookups at our camp site for electric to our camper. I have a generator but usually if you are staying at a campground it's because you want something like that. I was a little surprised but beautiful, peaceful and a great place to camp.
Quiet, peaceful, small (16 sites) campground on the shore of Little Lake with boat launch and small sand beach. Sites vary in size from little tent only sites to large pull thru sites for the big rigs . No hookups, picnic table and fire pit at each site. Vault toilets and hand pump well available.
This is a campground for a holes. If you like to play loud music at 1am and run a generator 24/7, this is the place for you. There's also blaring train horns at 7 and 8am to make sure you don't get a full night of sleep.
