Great getaway
Stayed at site #1, right by the river, for a night. The host, Preach, will make sure your site is taken care of and in great condition for your stay. The entire campground is well maintained. Site #1 is the best campsite I have stayed at. And the price per night doesn’t break the bank.

Arrived today and it is closed off with the sign “Campground Closed” I should have called before going lol.
Convenient, but busy.
We were looking for something a little more dispersed when we came across Peaceful Valley.
We didn't actually stay here for the night (again, we wanted something a little more dispersed). We drove through camp, everything was booked way out... So I suggest getting here early or making a reservation in advance.
Campsites looked nice and clean. Scenery was great.
If you're looking for something easy to reach, with all the amenities, this would be an excellent site.
