The campground was nice and clean. Nice trails to take adventure walks. Great for kids! Nice place to fly fish.
Gorgeous! Paved roads and parking, clean bathrooms. Spots are a nice distance apart. Nice host Peggy!
Such a lovely campground! I stayed just one night (6/7/23) and there were more than enough beautiful sites to choose from. The camp hosts were so amazing, kind, helpful, and hospitable. They were like the sweet Mom and Pop of the campground and made it feel like home. They let us know that if we ever needed anything, not to hesitate to swing by to ask for assistance.
There was potable water and vaulted toilets. The restroom was very clean. Usually I hate using vaulted toilets due to the horror show you see and smell once you lift the lid, but there was absolutely none of that here. These restrooms were immaculate and I had no qualms about using them. There are nice trails to take, and if your a mushroom enthusiast like me, there's plenty of mushy's to look at. 10/10, would stay here again. I'm looking forward to my next stay. I'm just bummed that it's FCFS, because I'd hate to drive all the way up here in the summer just to find out it's full. I wish there was an online reservation option.
This is place, clean well kept, quiet. The camp hosts were Jim & Kathy & they were amazing. I will definitely be back. Went camping with my son for 4days here and it was great.
Beautiful little campground that can accompany 35 foot rigs. A few double sites can fit bigger. Few mosquitoes and a little road noise during the day. Campground hosts are super friendly. Would stay here again. No cell service. Close to trail.
