Overall Rating

This is a lovely little campground for primitive camping. Look for signs to the Pine Campground. (The Campendium coordinates take you about a mile north. The Oak Campground is for groups.) All of the sites are shaded, most under a beautiful pine canopy, but there is no visual barrier between them. A couple sites are tucked into the foliage.

The campground is not big-rig friendly. Class B, small Class C and trailers under about 22’ would fit. A couple of the sites are pull-through.

Rates are $8/night, but free for veterans and seniors (over 62). There was only one other camper on a Thursday in late September, but reservations are recommended on the weekends.

I wanted to give 5 stars, but the pit toilet was pretty gross.
