Quiet, Creek Side Camping

🌲 Do your part and keep this campground clean & quiet!

My partner and I camped here on a Sunday night. We arrived mid-day, and asked the camp host (Adam) if they had any spots available. He was happy we stopped by and gave use a creek side spot with parking. A site is $28 per night and they sell bundles of firewood for $8. Our spot was beautiful, and luckily the campsite adjoining ours and the other nearby site was empty. Every campsite has a nice fire pit with grills, a charcoal grill, and a picnic table nearby. We were right by one of the toilets and a dumpster which was super convenient, only major downside was that even though the toilet was very well maintained, it did smell and have a lot of flies (please close the lid). The river was great for a dip(was about 1 ft deep at the time but seemed low) and very relaxing. The campground was extremely quiet and everyone seemed respectful, however, I’ve given this campsite 4 stars because I imagine having neighbors next door on a busy weekend could be a little less private than ideal. Overall though, it was a lovely site and I would definitely return. Also, there were a ton of blue jays and other birds.
