Quiet and well kept. Bathrooms and showers are very nice, if a bit small. Of the three campsites designated for vehicles and small RV or popup trailers, only #1 and #2 laid out for it. #3 is a short walk back into the trees, so you won't be near your equipment. My visit was mid-week and it looked like it was just me and the camp host. Campground rules are great for those who appreciate the dark and quiet. No generators or blinding RV lights running all night. At the time of my visit the posted rules did not indicate where it is appropriate to set up telescopes or photography equipment. I assume the grassy field along the top of the ridge near the campsites is intended for this, and that trampling the wildflowers found there is ok, but this is not stated anywhere, and the grass was all fairly long and perhaps a tick risk. Overall, very nice site, worth a visit!
Camping in September the whole back lot is full with boy scouts and other campers. Hike in sites were completely empty early in the morning but filled up fast. Site 3 is my personal favorite but site 4 is great too. 5-6 aren't too bad but are basically a combined site
A huge Conservancy with miles of hiking, biking and equine trails. Absolutely beautiful. The shower house at the Star camp, is modern, clean and well kept. I've visited once, then returned twice to camp and again to just hike. I can't get enough of this place. I'll be back again and again. Cabins and Party house are available for rent.
We were in site number 11 for one night. It was super quite and the stars can be seen so well from here. The bathroom is quite a long way from here, but that’s okay with me. They allowed our 12’ cargo conversion, but I think there is a 16’ rule. The camp host was very nice and helpful. Firewood is a very fair price also. Site 11 is shaded in the late afternoon, but quite sunny in the morning. Trails are just feet away from here.
Beautiful location surrounded by wooded areas with a clover field in the center. Campsites are nicely spaced out and very well kept. Plenty of hiking trails and a new shower house as well. If you come on a clear night you have an amazing view of the night sky.
Excellent site. Well maintained trails. Very courteous host, Jeff.
