to the point

well kept and quiet campground. the owner, Clem was super friendly and accommodating. campground seems a little desolate from the outside but if you want a good nights sleep, this is the place. :) right on the main rip to the city and excellent for stargazing because it’s so open.

Love this place

You won't find much here but its all you need to relax. I have stayed here twice now and love it. 17 sites (I think) with water and electric hookup. But a full field for rustic camping if the others are full. 

The family that runs the site is super nice and friendly. This is for sure my goto in this area.
