Great quiet seclusive park

I love staying at this campground. Shower house is always clean and tidy. Love that they have a beach and ample fishing right on the pond with the campsites over looking beautiful water.

Nice for a County Park

This campground offers electric only sites for RVs. Water can be a bit tricky to get in the park and there was not host onsite to assist. The RV sites were mostly level on a gravel pad with a grass yard. There is some shade with fire pits on site and picnic tables. It was very quiet as this is in the heart of corn fields. There was a bit of a disturbance which the ranger promptly addressed. There are showers and toilets onsite as well.
