ScoutThere is a high fence surrounding the property and it is secured by electronic hand held devices that you receive when you check in. The lake and swimming pool are beautiful and restful. You can walk through a gate to the golf course and a nice little restaurant. If a person has the time and is a golfer, this is a great place to stay for a month. I am not a golfer nor do I have the time this trip, but this place is on my radar for the next trip to the area.

GuideA lot of the RV sites had electric. And there is water stations throughout. Also a dump station on the way out. Can reserve everything. Good area for tenors too. Camp store is small and so our other facilities. There is a pool, but it looks like it’s been closed down for years. Not many amenities.This is a great national park if you’d like to hike.
TravelerNous n’avions pas réservé et nous avons eu une place en dernière minute. Fort agréable. La gérante est très sympa. Nous avions l’impression que certains camping car étaient présent depuis un certain temps. Les personnes autour de nous étaient tres sympathiques. Nous avons utilisé la laundry qui fonctionnaient très bien et étaient propres. Nous pouvions payer avec l’application “PayRange”, ce qui est pratique quand nous n’avons pas de monnaie. Bon camping.
ScoutMany here will tell you about the raccoons! The campground is split by a creek which has a lot of critters, rabbits, chipmunks(?), quail, mice, and raccoon. My campsite was right next to a common raccoon path and a few walked by within a few feet of me and my campfire. Don’t leave food out and make sure they are afraid of humans. It’s for their safety and ours!
Travelerraccoons….everywhere…. seriously leave your car locked, these little buggers were not afraid of humans. otherwise, good showers, clean bathrooms. private sites. very convenient location to trails.
