Beautiful and Quiet

My husband and I stayed one night on our relocation trip from Alaska. The location was beautiful and peaceful. The campground was very clean. I wish we had been able to stay longer. The $10 fee is certainly reasonable!

Great spot!

Such a nice camping spot. Clean and tidy, on a beautiful pond with lots of rec opportunities. Playground with basketball court; clean vault toilets; electric available at each site. Best part... $5 per night, $10 if you want electric.
Half hour from Portal border crossing.

Great Family Fishing Hole

Great Family Area! Had to 2 play grounds, 4 little docks (1 fishing, for swimming area), Fish cleaning station!

A lot of camper slots (also can be used as tent spots) with electrical hook ups. No dump area or water hook ups 😔.

Bring a kayak, canoe, or boat and enjoy excellent fishing for trout, walleye and blue gill!
