TravelerBeautiful Spot in the Fall
We stayed on night in a 21' Travato Van Camper. Nancy, the camp host, was very accommodating as we had no reservations. She helped us find a spot in this small (16 camp) loop. It was quiet overnight and everyone was friendly during the day. We felt very welcome. The camp grounds are super well kept. There is a bath house in the center of the loop (didn't use) and water spigots located throughout to fill your tanks. A dump station on the way out is clean and convenient. Large camp sites are located in such a way that you have privacy. Check in is at 3PM and check out is at 2PM. You can't beat it for $15/night (with senior discount).
RangerGreat Campground for Nature Lovers
This may be one of our new favorite campgrounds!!! We stayed in site 10 on the water. It was absolutely beautiful!!! So peaceful.
The campground hosts were phenomenal!!! They made sure all campers had everything they need. They also make sure people are following the rules!! While I was walking my dogs, a truck drove the wrong way in the loop to get to his spot. A camp host quickly reminded him to drive the right way.
There's plenty of fishing opportunity, so bring the fishing gear!
Pet friendly, but make sure you keep all pets on a leash!!
There are electric hookups, but not water. There are water spigots around the campground to fill up the water tanks! There is a spigot right across the road from site 10.
In site 10, the driveway is short. It only fit our 18' camper and our truck. But there ARE other sites that can accommodate much larger rigs. Just do a little homework prior to reserving a spot.
While we visited in mid July, the temperatures were fantastic! I was not too hot at all! The shade trees did a great job of blocking out heat.
I highly recommend this cg!!

Scoutlovely campground
This was a nice little campground. The camp host kept the bathroom nice and clean. There was only one shower but it was nice and warm. I had spot #4 which has access to the creek that runs along side the campground. Because of the weather I couldn't really get in but it was great white noise for sleeping. Would come back here again.
