- NBNana Cathy & Papa Bob BearNov 16, 20255.0Stayed here in our Class A RV. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Far enough in the woods that you got away from it all. Close enough to get out and see the area.
- PKPatty KnillNov 5, 20251.0RVs keep getting bigger however the RV spots are the smal size as years in the past. We were assigned a spot that had our neighbors fire pit under our kitchen slide 🙄. When we asked to be moved we were told …… sorry, we’re full even though empty spots were all around. They allowed us to spend 2 nights in a spot that was vacant; a weekender wanted it so we would have to leave. They allowed us reservation system is a wish list. Be sure to call the campground - do not just show up.
