I hate to share this campground with others because I want it to be all mine ;). Anyway, this is a quiet and peaceful campground. I had a puppy and toddler here and the river was gentle enough to build a small "pool" out of rocks to keep kids and dogs from washing down the river. I want to live here....forever. Does that tell you how great it is? Please do NOT come here...so it can stay mine. Thanks ;)
Highly recommend the place. Host was friendly and the bathrooms were very clean. Also has a dumpster on site so you don't take your trash home. Great place.
