Guests frequently mentioned the peaceful, well-spaced sites and friendly owners. Many visitors reported excellent Sunday brunch and full hookups. A laid-back atmosphere with respectful fellow campers.

Spent two of my all time favorite camping trips here!

In 2016 we stayed here for the first time in one of the camping cabins and I LOVE how rustic the cabins are here. Typically, the campsite would have been closed but that February it was really warm, so they opened earlier in the year. That weekend was super cold. The warm spell had ended. We bundled under 10 blankets, enjoyed a sweet campfire and basically had the entire campsite to ourselves and it was pretty.dang.cool. Then, this past October (2020) we went back to tent camp here with two of our best friends and although it rained all weekend, we still had the most amazing stay. The sites are well spaced and other campers are always super respectful here. They also have a really good Sunday breakfast brunch that is FANTASTIC and relatively cheap. The folks that run the place are really nice.

This is a pretty cool, laid back place.

Peaceful and Private

Stopped through for a one night stay. The site is quiet and there seem to be only 7-8 sites here. Site 3 is a pull through, fairly level, with electric/water/sewer. The owner is very sweet and accommodating.
