Clean and welcoming!

Very nice no-reservation campground with a truly legendary host. (He won a national award for his campground hosting!) Clean and well-maintained bathrooms. There is some road noise; the campground is very close to Route 12.

Beautiful location

Easy access off of Hwy 12 but far enough away so road noise was just a minor hum. Parked ClassB in site 15-no leveling required. Blacktop with concrete pad under picnic table.

Good area to hang out for a few hours.

We checked this area while scouting spots for our logging sports team.

There were very few tent site cams but a lot of RV areas.

When we scouted it out, it was totally full. Because there’s so few spots for what we wanted we decided our chances of getting a spot elsewhere on the first show was more likely.
