Very nice little campground. Honor system which I like, a ton of firewood for $10 is available, campsites were nice and flat super clean, The pit toilets were also extremely clean. Only complaint was that the hand sanitizer and one of them was out. I would definitely stay here again. Hook up sites are also available and they were also very clean and very flat.
This is not meant to be a 5 star campground. It fit my needs perfectly. Just needed a 1 night stay to dry camp, and for $20 for a tent site that can’t be beat in this location. Hell, I’ve paid more to park in a parking garage before. I believe for water and electric site it’s $40 a night. First come, first served you check yourself in. Just pickup an envelope find you a site, fill out the envelope and drop it in the slot. Piece of cake. It does have a dump station if you pay for water/electric site. No shower house, and vault toilets. Would definitely stay here again if the need arises.
There's no phone number or website, and nobody is in the office on-site. Self-register only. There's firewood provided at $10/rack, which is a better deal than the $5 bundles sold roadside in the area. Tent sites aren't numbered and are located along the roadside. RV sites have electric and water, and there are vault toilets for tent campers. KOA was full, and we asked about this campsite, which they gave a grimace and shrug about. Quiet time starts at 9 pm, so try to get there and set up before then. There is a host site and phone number posted to reach them in case of any emergencies, but I didn't see anyone outside of their rv or tent. It's definitely better than sleeping in your car if the other campgrounds are full, but that's about all I can say. A handful of trees were cut down, so if you're in a tent, it will get hot in the morning since there's no shade
Clean and well maintained park that had water and electricity at the rv sites with a separate dump station. No frills but large lots, wood on site, and close to it all. Fire pit at each site and a picnic table, too. We felt safe there, too. Toilet is basic, no laundry or showers.
This place is awesome! Totally affordable and has an honor system self-registration and commissary fridge that has their own chicken and even duck eggs! Owners are really nice. Water and electric hook up for $20/day. Wow! Cute rock circle fire pits and firewood bundles only $3!!! Quiet and peaceful with some large trees. Nice picnic tables at each site too. Love this place and the concept.
