Pleasant tent campground in the middle of the city

If you need a decent place to tent camp in the city for brief period, this is a quaint tucked away place. The host managers are extremely nice. The tent campground itself is quite small and sites are very close to each other. Fire pits, tent pads, shady, WiFi, water, power, hot showers, firewood available, relatively quiet from road noise, secure. Buffering the campground from the main busy road is an RV section. $30 night for tent camping.

Good for what I needed

I came to the area to hike so I wasn't at the site except to sleep. This site was easy to get to and find. Site was flat and asphalt so it was very level. This site is not for people that like to hang out and relax outside their campers. Just not my type of camping.  

PROS: The camp hosts are very nice and extremely accommodating. 

Close to groceries, fast food, etc.

Not expensive

Each space has a picnic table.

CONS: Close to highway and pretty loud - some spaces are further back and much quieter.

Spaces are small and awkward

My spot didn't have a fire pit - some others do.
