My husband and I have stayed here a few times. It's small, quiet, and beautiful.

A Hidden Gem 

The camp is small and very quiet.  The road in is awful.  Would be real hard on any low RV.

Nice but the road in....

The road is nothing but HUGE potholes! It’s is ridiculously overgrown and unkempt.  In addition, the only other campers looked like they were squatters and were just living in there. The worst!

Terrible 

My wife and I stayed here while motorcycle camping with our cat in July 2019.  Loved the days we stayed.  Our campsite was situated so we had good solar reception.  Fire ring was good, as was the picnic table.  Discovered a spring just a few miles west of the campground where water was easily available.  The poor road condition was the only bad part.
