Avoid the weekend after July 4

I stayed there for one night on a Thursday. For such a small campground it was really full. It turns out that for the last 62 years, this campground is taken over by a large family reunion the weekend after the Fourth of July. They easily had 75 people there already and were expecting at least that many more. If you avoid that weekend, then it’s a nice campground except that it is right next to the highway. As a layover it’s fine. I wouldn’t make it a destination place though.

Not recommended for RV’s - slides & 25’+

We were able to park our 33’ RV with F250 long bed in site 15 but not without skill and ingenuity. The front hitch was as low as it could go and still not level. Highway 97 noise from semi trucks using the Jake brake to slow down finally stopped around 10PM. No pay envelopes available. The rangers said they were out so it was free. No cellular or dump station.
