Decent place to camp

The campground had quite a few geese when we went so lots of honking and goose poop which dont work out if you want peace and quiet and clean shoes. The camping sites also have large tall trees where a camper should be parked which causes you to park way to close to the fire pit. Luckily we were camping in a group and could hang out at another campsite with better placement. On the plus side, the view is beautiful and the bar is nice!

Scenery to die for

Absolutely love coming to this campground. This is the first year with the new owners but it looks like they're doing their best and doing a lot of great updates. The scenery is amazing. I had the most peaceful stay which was exactly what I was wanting. We drive about 3.5hrs to stay and its definitely worth it! We enjoyed one day of kayaking and another day of cycling on the trout run trail. Both days were SO serene! After our bike ride we treated ourselves to some delicious ice cream from Whippy Dip and dinner at Don Jose's Mexican Restaurant and they did not disappoint 😍😋 I'm looking forward to going back!

Pretty Solid

Clean campground. Randy was great. Amenities were solid. Shuttle service is nice but I felt a little mislead after our phone conversation compared to what happened.
We’ll go back

Hidden Gem

This is a nice hidden little privately owned campground. The host, Randy is super nice and helpful with whatever you need. There is also the bar/store where you can get refreshments and food. Try to get a site closest to the bluff for the best experience!
