Strangest campground we've ever camped at. We were shocked when they showed us our campsite, it was in the middle of an open field, no trees, right next to other campers. There was no feeling of privacy, nothing to feel like you were really camping. When I think of camping, I think of being surrounded by trees and such. It was very odd. I'm giving 3 stars because the host was really nice, the place was kept up nicely, good bathrooms, etc.
We didn't stay in a room, we used our camper.. facility is very nice with nice folks working g the office and grounds. Spots were nice and grassy with electric 30 and 50 Amp. I recommend d for a get a way weekend or longer..
I don’t think I could honestly say enough about this place! Absolutely beautiful clean well-maintained. The staff is super friendly. The campsites are spaced out the hiking trails are rugged but well marked and they have trails large enough to ride four wheelers and dirt bikes. it is also pet and children friendly. The staff is super nice and accommodating and they will deliver the firewood to your lot. The only real downside to this place would be the entrance. It feels more like a private driveway than it does an actual entrance to a campsite, but don’t be shy come on up lol. also, while I didn’t stay in the stargazer dome, they are pretty large. The pictures don’t do them justice. They do offer ice firewood and laundry services but they don’t have a commissary so be sure you bring your own food, toiletries, etc.
This is the second time I have stayed here (last time was about 9 years ago), and both times have been fantastic! All of the folks that run the campgrounds are terrific, and there are so many campsite options to choose from. Definitely spend a little extra to have them carry all of your gear in, as the trails down from the main camp area can be tricky. Such a great place to go during the leaf changing season, and will definitely be back to try out the cabins next!
We travel almost 5 hrs one way at least 3 times a year just for this place! Cleanest bathhouses we’ve seen! And the service…ITS AMAZING! The guy who runs the place is so accommodating and just a genuine good guy! Trails for everybody, sights and views for days, leave feeling like a brand new refreshed person! Blue bear is our spot! They have won themselves some lifers out of us!❤️
