Great for Camping with Kids

If you're looking for primitive dispersed camping, this is probably not your spot.

If you're camping with kids, it doesn't get much better than this!  We stayed at campsite #58 which we felt was very large are private. Will definitely come back.

For our purposes:

  • Dog Friendly: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Kid Friendly: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pros:

  • Clean facilities, flushing toilets and hot showers, well maintained sites.
  • Very affordable
  • Friendly staff and atmosphere
  • Recently paved streets (perfect for scootering, skating, biking)
  • Great playground for children
  • Easy and fun "Story Trail" hike for children.   The hike features a new book every month, each page is mounted to a placard along the trail.
  • Nice creek for kids to explore
  • Close to town if you need a quick drink, lunch, or shopping.

Cons:

  • Traffic noise from nearby roads (not terrible, but reminds you that you're not fully engulfed in nature.
  • No alcohol (not an issue for us, but may be an issue for some).
  • No hammocks or anything hanging from trees.
  • Dogs 100% must be on leash at all times.  If you're a dog owner, they do patrol the park frequently and your dog must be leashed.
