Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RATE

Simple flat nightly pricing for groups

The site rents for $150 per night plus tax and that rate includes up to 12 people; additional campers are charged $10 per person per night, with capacity and guest limits enforced.

THE SITE

Group shelter and tent capacity

Designated as a large-group site, the space accommodates roughly 6–10 average-size tents and is distinguished as a group shelter site — note that campsites are primitive and standard campsite spots do not have electricity or water.

THE RULES

Reservation, vehicle and pet policies you can’t ignore

Reservations require the booker to be at least 21; there is a four-vehicle limit per site with overflow parking available, a $20 cash deposit collected at check-in, and dog owners must keep pets leashed and under direct supervision.

What the day feels like

What staying here actually feels like

Arrivals funnel through a practical check-in process, groups spread into a sheltered central area and adjacent primitive tent sites, and the stay centers on low-impact camping — the operator enforces campground rules and expects campers to manage trash, quiet hours and campsite condition before checkout.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this site serves best — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Large groupsWell suited: the site is promoted as a large-group site with shelter space and the ability to host more than the standard campsite party, though base pricing includes only the first 12 guests and additional occupants are billed.
2
Weekend event plannersCaution advised: weekend stays are subject to a two-night minimum and holiday weekends carry a three-night minimum (with narrow exceptions), so plan bookings accordingly.
3
FamiliesGenerally a match: the campground identifies as family-friendly but enforces conduct rules; a responsible adult 21+ must make the reservation or accompany minors.
4
Travelers with dogsPossible but conditional: dogs are permitted only if leashed, supervised and kept quiet and clean — repeated complaints can result in loss of camping privileges and fees.
