Secluded but loud

The camp ground is tucked away in the woods and each spot has a good amount of privacy. The camp seems like it is never super busy so it is a good last-minute option. Hot showers were a nice surprise as well. But as other comments mentioned, the train is VERY loud. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal but when they always blare the horn right as they are passing the campground, it makes it very difficult to sleep. It made my GF jump the first time it passed by and kept me up most throughout the night.

Small but good!

It was a fine campground with very clean working facilities, including showers. Only a handful of sites from what we saw, but comfortable. However, the train comes through very often and it’s only a couple hundred yards away so it is LOUD. There are also neighborhood dogs that run loose, very sweet but they would not leave our side :)
