Very nice place to camp. Definitely bring something to stay warm at night. You can't bring enough blankets. Here are some pics!
Great campground. One shower had a sign that said the water doesn’t get hot so I used that one and the water was fine. Guessing a jokester tried to reserve a shower with trickery.
Other camper was the only problem: alarm horn went off five or six times throughout the night. Was really not cool.
I was so lucky to find this great campground. It was already dark when I realized I was not going to make it to the place I had pre booked farther down the road. My impromptu search led me to this jewel of a place. The ability to complete a real time reservation on my phone was so wonderful. It worked well and I had the best night sleep in months in my cozy little tent. Woke in the morning to get a full view of the campground in daylight and I can’t wait to plan my next visit. The restrooms were clean and pleasant to use. I don’t have a dog but saw several while there and it’s good to know our canine kids are welcome.
