So glad we found this campground!

We stopped here for a two-day getaway in December. The snowbirds are friendly but Deb, the owner, is awesome. Spoke to her several times on the phone before arriving and while there. We are new to RV'ing and this was our first solo trip with the new rig! Deb showed us the lay of the land and encouraged her snowbirds to stop by and say hi (and check on us, offer tips & tricks). We felt well cared for!

Love this place

This is the second time we have come here. Both times we have stayed for 10 days and we love it. Quiet laidback campground. Deb and Omi are always so nice and helpful. Look forward to coming back again.

Gem in the Forest

This is a very rustic campground with friendly owners. The amenities there are cabins, swimming pool, laundry room, shower rooms and lake activities. I have friends that leave their camper on their site and just pay a minimal monthly amount during the summer months.
