Verbatim from guest reviews on Campspot ↗ (16 reviews, ★ 4.8). Not written or edited by us.

“Awesome place to stay. Owners are always there if you need anything.”

Kenny c 5 · Oct 2025 · Campspot

“The camp ground is well kept. The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. We had a wonderful experience!!”

Nichole W 5 · Sep 2025 · Campspot

“While the value of this low cost electric hookup was great, the campground is not kept clean. The overall management is lacking and at one site there were 6 vehicles and 4 campers crammed into one spot. The Saturday night crowd came with a very loud party with blasting music.”
