"While the campground is very nice, with clean conveniently located bathrooms, the site itself is probably not suited for a large group of people."
"Our site had the AT running right behind it. The was plenty of access to trails, and pretty central to the park. The campground is near showers, laundry, campstore, and visitor center."

"Back in sites for smaller trailers such as our teardrop were plenty big enough but still on the outskirts of the field. Bath house was very clean and very well thought out."
ScoutAwesome spot! Got the last site at 6PM on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Very respectful neighbors so it was very quiet
GuideWe had a great time staying here, the site we were at was pretty private behind our camper. Bushes and trees on all sides of our fire ring and picnic table.
Clean bathrooms and wash stations.
Would recommend!
GuideSmall campground on the side of a creek. Sites are simple, some are bigger than others. Hookups are easy to get to. We stayed there for three days in April 2025. Area quiet, not much traffic. No trucks or trains in the immediate area. Ducks are there and you hear the water which is very soothing to us. Staff is very friendly. Restrooms are excellent. The main street of the town is a short walk from the campground. The town has a laundromat, the campground does not. A short drive away is the usual assortment of convenience stores, restaurants and grocery stores.
Due to the creek it isn't a good place for kids to run around without supervision, there isn't a playground or pool.
We like this CG. We have been there 3 times and will return again.
ScoutI would call this a primitive campground as there is no water or electric hookups at the campsites. There is potable water at several locations throughout the campground that you can fill up your RV fresh water tank or a jug if you are tent camping. I was there in August of 2024 for two nights and throughly enjoyed my stay. Their are flush toilets and showers available and they were kept clean. I plan on returning in 2025.

ScoutThis campground is underrated! Found this place by accident. Don’t let the name fool you, this place is the largest camp resort in the area. It has everything even a small grocery store.
ScoutAwesome, plenty of bathrooms; quarter showers, camp store, campground is very large! If you go during popular times of year it will be crowded at the campground so if you’re looking for a more isolated experience this might not be the best spot!
GuideI tent camped for one night at the start of Easter weekend. Lots and lots of folks about, but still enough space to NOT feel encroached upon. Level grass spot for a tent, fairly level paved parking area if car camping, picnic table, fire ring with grill grate. I was on the no generator loop, but in a non electric site (vs tent walk in type). Warm bathrooms, utility sinks in several, pay hot showers, lots of greenery. I will visit again! NO Verizon cell service at all!
TravelerBooked last minute on a Wednesday night they had two openings. Sites are very spacious and good distance between other campers. Nice privacy. Large Bath house dump stations were great. Some sites were very level. We were on site seven which was very long but very unlevel. .
