Nice place. All primitive camping (no hook-ups or water). Just naturally beautiful. Justin at the entrance gate is very helpful to answer questions and make suggestions.
*This could have been an awesome place to camp unfortunately with all the dry weather there is no water as it suggested in camping area to fish, kayak etc. Oct.26 2024 *This is rustic camping no electricity or running water. Which we knew before coming. *The little bit of water is on far side of the field and not handicap accessible. *#18 was supposed to have water right at spot and was completely dry.
Rustic camping (no electricity or water at the sites), we knew this before arriving. We arrived late at night and got set up. The next morning we met the camp host and she was amazing, very informative and helpful.
I would love to keep this place a secret to try to guarantee an open spot when I visit next, but this place simply deserves the 5 stars. I found it to be immaculately clean and very well cared for. The campsites are a little close, which I was expecting. It’s run by a couple who is extremely experienced and happy to make your experience the best it possibly can. I suspect this will be my go-to getaway spot!
Fantastic blue bonnet photos. If you go- just don’t step on them ok…?!
