Really Nice Campground

Friendly people running the campground and it’s pretty spacious! It’s in an awesome location, too - we had other plans but made last-minute plans to stay here for a night and they were pretty empty on a Friday night. Nice facilities, but restrictive like another review says - we didn’t have our dog this time around but they don’t allow dogs so it may be hard for us to come back. We didn’t try the trails but everything else we saw was well-kept. We liked it!

Fantastic

This place was newly renovated for guest to stay. The campsites are nicely spaced out so you aren’t to close to other campers. The trails are amazing but be careful or you might get lost.
