Phillip K ★ 5 · Sep 2025The camp host, Dave, what an incredibly helpful and nice guy. He made what was a nice vacation a truely enjoyable experience.
Wes S ★ 5 · Aug 2025Clean quiet campground in a magical place! Our camp host David was very helpful.
Brian B ★ 4 · Aug 2025I love this campground and the surrounding area.

Overall the 3 nights spent there were pleasant and the hiking and 4 wheeling were incredible. I will be back.
