I’ve been coming here for over a decade. It started out as a place for guys trips in college to now family trips. Off-roading, shooting range, lots of fishing lakes and hiking. The owners are great people.
We always enjoy our time there Willis and Daniel are great we've had a very long relationship with the them through our camping adventures
The long distance range is professionally ran by their Range Master. I don’t recall his name . We had a group of 10 and he spotted for all of us . First allowing the ones with new optics to get sighted in. Then came down the lanes to spot . Walked my shots in from torso to head shots with my 30.06. Awesome day . Will be doing it again . So much fun!
I can only speak for the shooting range as I have not camped here. Great option for outdoor shooting. Can't beat the price. A bit rough driving to the range, some low profile vehicles might have trouble. Bring a canopy when weather is questionable, it will come in handy.
I was accidentally placed into a site hosting a rock concert. It was so loud and full of drunk people, I had to get out of there. The front desk staff let me move to another site free of charge. The new site was gorgeous, secluded, silent, and peaceful. The camp site was clean and had a beautiful view of the lake. The outhouses and clean and sturdy. Very lovely. I'm so grateful that there was a space to move to that fit my wishes.
