We have a 42ft rig and wanted water and power. It was snug to get in, but it worked with some extra caution. The location was amazing and we can only recommend to stay there.
Brandon Elijah (Black Z ★ 5 · Aug 2025
They were great host. They were outstanding with their customer service. They helped with everything we needed. They have a great 45 acres that is quite and out in the middle of the woods. They have a great set up for camping tent wise. We they have laundry and clean bathrooms. We will definitely go back when we are in the area. Awesome place if you are ever in the area make sure you stop by and visit them. You won't regret your stay.
