Very pretty but by a shooting range

Very, very pretty with a lot of greenery and shade. Campsites are pretty secluded, especially sites 3, 4 and 5.

Only down side is that we think there was a shooting range nearby. Woke up in the morning to gunfire, but it only lasted about an hour.

Great spot!

Went here with my family, none of us knew this campground existed before finding it on the Dyrt. Definitely a hidden gem! The sites were mostly in shade which was nice in the heat and also pretty to look at. We stayed at site 4 which only had two sites next to it (one on each side) but there were so many trees that we had plenty of privacy. The toilets were very clean, especially for it being an outhouse. This is my new favorite campground for sure!

Beautiful!

We loved this spot. There are around 18 campsites? I’m not positive. But we were in spot 17 and it was perfect, right by a stream. We went on a Friday night and it didn’t get busy until 8 or 830pm (where we were).
