This was a great camping location.l site included picnic table and fire pit. No hookups but restrooms available. Beautiful wooded area with river running through the camp. Spring 2023 the river is flowing strong. Another year, it may not run. Beautiful area to hike and enjoy nature. Inexpensive. Glamping sites available too.
Very beautiful, peaceful, clean, friendly camp host, variety of hiking, bicycling, and horse trails. It was dog friendly and nice to have dogs on leashes. Campgrounds had plenty of room for tents, campfires, and picnic tables.
A great place to escape. The place has natural scenery that looks close to the eastern United States but with mountains on either side. Pit toilets all around. Potable water was shut off due to the high water runoff with the yearly precipitation this year causing the drains to be underwater. Trails are good for biking, hiking and horseback riding. Cell signals were ok with Verizon (was able to stream.) The place is located next to a lot of businesses but far enough away to escape. Weekends get busy but still worth it. Roads are all paved but are narrow for two lane traffic. Was able to get some solar with 400w portable solar panels but the canopy can make it difficult in most spots. I'd definitely go back again. Camped with a truck and 20' trailer.
I’ve been camping my whole life! I have NEVER had such a fun and helpful camp host, Joe! He practically became part of the family! The location is amazing with great tree coverage and beautiful trails that we used for both hiking and riding horses. Bring your own water! But if you need anything Joe is there with a smile to help you with all your needs!
Joe the camp host was great! Always made time for any concerns. He works hard, really made our camping experience the best. The campground was nice. Only real drawback is the closest bathroom to our campsite was out of order.
