This private campground caters primarily to monthly residents, with some spots available for shorter stays. The facility maintains organized rows of sites with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Campers can access drinking water, restrooms, and a dump station on-site.
The campground sits near Lake Preston and allows both campfires and pets. Sites appear well-maintained according to visitor observations, though the layout focuses on long-term camping rather than recreational stays. Lake Thompson Recreation Area provides a nearby alternative for those seeking a more traditional camping experience.
