THE SETTING

Grassy, Tree‑Covered Pitch

Camp Site #2 is defined by its grassy surface and tree cover — a simple, shaded footprint for tents that prioritizes low‑impact camping in a primitive setting.

THE RULES

Family‑Focused, Orderly Campground Culture

The operator stresses a family‑friendly atmosphere: rowdiness and substance abuse are not tolerated, and campers agree to follow Morgan’s Rules and Regulations when booking.

THE UPDATE

2026 Site Changes — Check the Map

The campground updated site numbers and capacities for 2026 and added new riverside/wooded sites (sites 9–12); guests are asked to verify the camp map and site limits before booking.

What the day feels like

What Staying at Camp Site #2 Feels Like

A stay at Camp Site #2 is straightforward: you arrive to a grassy, tree‑buffered tent site with no hookups, set up within the site’s tent and occupancy limits, and follow campground rules and Leave No Trace principles. Facilities are primitive—plan to be self‑sufficient—and the operator maintains clear expectations about behavior, guest numbers and parking.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this site suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small FamiliesWell suited: the base rate covers up to 2 adults and 3 children (ages 3–17), and the family‑friendly rules make it a good choice for parents who expect orderly camping.
2
Groups Up to Site LimitReasonable fit if your party respects the maximum capacity (total max 10 people) and the site’s tent limit (1–4 average size tents); extra guests incur a per‑person fee.
3
Over‑21 BookersBooking requires a person aged 21 or older—only those 21+ may make reservations—so solo young adults under 21 cannot reserve on their own.
4
Pet OwnersPets are permitted but must be on leash, under direct supervision, and kept quiet and clean; repeat complaints or rule violations can result in loss of privileges and deposits.

Tenting & Camp Setup

Pack a tent plan that fits the site limits (sites accommodate 1–4 average size tents) and bring means to pack out or bag trash for proper disposal at the campground dumpster.
