Quiet and colorful
We’ve been here before and like the smallness of the park. It’s really pretty in the fall and has some sites that sit back in trees. The sites can be tight to get in and out of with big campers as the turns are almost at a 90 degree angle.
Our site was nice - it had trees and space to walk our dogs. There’s a nice shower house with separate flush toilets. There are a couple of vault toilets on one end.
The camp store is a nice size and has a variety of items. If you have kids there’s a good playground. Lots of trails to hike and play frisbee golf.

Small and grand....
Site 32 is a big site in a small campground. We've been in this site before and like it because we can have out kitchen set up by the camper, the fire ring is below and out of the way and we have a lot of space to walk our dogs or hang hammocks. There is plenty of space for tents.
The pads are almost 90 degrees to the main road which can make it tough backing in a big camper. The full hookup sites are much smaller and closer together. The electric sites (where we stayed) are bigger and a little more spread out. There is a terrific shower house where the flush toilets are separate from the shower rooms. There are drop toilets at the end of the electric loop. There are also two cabins available for rent.
The tall trees provide good shade, hammock hanging and entertainment with birds and squirrels. There is a very short hiking trail that will take you from the electric side to the full hook-up side. They just added new trellis's on either end and animal boards along the walk. The camp store is nice and has a lot to offer. There's a large playground and a couple of different shelters. You can throw horse shoes, play cornhole, partake in disc golf, kayak or go for a nice hike at this park.
We chose to go hiking and saw a little bit of color on the trees and a lot of mushrooms! We like the campground because it's small, kept clean and offers a variety of thinks to do.

Tiny and close
This campground wasn’t level and the spots are so tiny I should have stayed at the KOA across the street for larger spots. That’s how small these are here. Our spot is on an incline. Full hookups are nice but dog poop galore. The pet owners here (not all of them) just let there dogs go anywhere and leave it. Sad. The camp store is nice and the staff is friendly. Restrooms are clean too.
