What customers say
This well-kept, clean site gets lots of praise for friendly, helpful staff. Guests love the spacious, level spots & peaceful, natural setting. Showers & restrooms are consistently called spotless. Minor distant road noise is occasionally noted, but most found it unobtrusive. The on-site coffee shop is a hit. Many want to come back.

Good quite site
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Spacious plots, how clean the site was, the little coffee shop and the good toilet / shower facilities
Disliked Nothing stood out as a negative to be honest, we only stayed one night and the site was probably at 25% occupancy. Maybe different if it was full.
