We stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights.  It rained a few days but that didn't stop us from having fun.  The campground host and wife were friendly.   The hosted a pot luck dinner and even had a singing after the dinner.   Would stay here again and would highly recommend this to others.

Campground was nice and clean, has a beautiful walking trail, the camp host was nice. The restrooms and showers were super clean. Enjoyed our stay will definitely be back. 

Nice and quiet 

We had a great stop at this campground. We called to secure a site last minute and are glad we found this campground. The grounds were nice, we walked a nature trail and down by the lake. There were ducks and geese, and it was a lovely reprieve from our travels to walk along the edges of the lake. We didn’t use the facilities onsite but it’s valuable to note that the worker said they close the bathhouse at 8.  Fantastic prices and such a hidden gem. If we lived near, we would for sure stay again.
