Get along…time for your own thoughts. No voices, no advices. Just you, God and nature…
Great for a quick one or two night stay but definitely not more unless your in an RV. The vault bathrooms were awful I’ve never used ones this bad. I literally inhaled a fly simply breathing because it’s infested with flies. The bathroom up by the showers in in the RV area are spotless but way too far to just go pee every time. The showers were nice $.50 for 3 minutes. There are an older style playground that was nice for the kids. There were about 5 site under the playground that are nice otherwise all the site are on hills with zero privacy and I can’t really imagine anyone uses them.
Great beautiful clean campground. Be aware of water and dump - it is not in every lot . Such a beautiful place though !
