Awesome place to camp! Sonny the camp manager was super! We discovered a wasp nest in our trailer awning as soon as we rolled it out and I was stung 3 times. Sonny was quick with some wasp spray for the nest and some Benadryl cream for my stings. The grounds were well-kept and the river was easily accessible from basically every camp spot. My only concerns were the all in one metal picnic bench tables in the spots, they were old, rusty and had some sharp edges, but nothing a towel couldn’t fix. The other thing was the occasional nosey unleashed dog. A couple of times I had to physically pick up my leashed small dog unsure of the other dogs intentions. But overall, great experience. Thanks again for your kindness Sonny!
We love this campground. We go every year at least once. We go as a big family and enjoy the bike trail and the river. The camp host Sunny has always been so helpful. This last weekend he stood in the rain helping us getting our trailer fixed. Can’t ask for a better camping place.
Campground was a little overgrown! It was hard to put our trailer in the spot with all the overgrown trees. There is a trail that you can ride bikes on that is really fun. There is also a little tennis court that you could play pickleball on. Make sure you arrive to your spot on time or the camp host will give your spot away. This happened to one in our group but we were able to squeeze them in with us!
Great experience! Just a short drive from a large reservoir you can kayak or swim in. Next to a stream for fishing or bathing. The stars are so many and bright during the night! Our camp host, Todd, was the man!! He was incredibly welcoming and friendly and made our stay great!!!
Right from the start the camp hosts, Sonny and Debby, were accommodating and helpful with any of our needs. They take care of the campground and guests with happy faces. It was a pleasure to camp in this campground with them as hosts and the spacious and clean spots our group was able to camp in. We will be back!
