My wife and I stayed from 4/24/25 to 4/28/25. The campgrounds are absolutely beautiful, with good facilities (shore power, water, restrooms and showers and even playground equipment for kids). The staff were wonderful and a pleasure to deal with. We will be back in the future.

This is a beautiful, well maintained campground that used to be a state park but is now privately owned. I saw a ton of wildlife and birds on the extensive trail system that surrounds the campground and inside the campground as well. Would highly recommend. Especially for the price and location if you happen to be traveling down I40.

A total blast. Feels like big adventure for the kiddos. Super family and kid friendly! Little park areas and lots of places to sit and break or picnic! Restrooms and pet friendly!
