All of our electric and water sites are equipped with a picnic table and fire circle. Most are located in the "woods" area of the campground and the majority are shaded.
Primitive tent sites are the most secluded in the campground. Tucked back behind the camp store, each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There is no water or electric hookups at these sites. Drinking water and an outlet are located on the back of the tent restrooms nearby.
Get off the grid and enjoy some fresh air and bright stars! We offer two mountainside units. Each unit is about a 3/4-mile hike up the mountain. You cannot drive to these campsites. A unit contains two sleeping platforms that sleep about 4-6 people on each. You can lay out a camp mat, or string up a hammock under these sheltered raised platforms. Between the two platforms is a picnic table, cooking fire circle with a grate, and a larger fire circle for sitting around. There is a composting toilet that is shared between the two units, and a common platform with a porch swing. There is no water or electricity on mountainside. Campers are welcome to hike down the mountain into the campground at their leisure to use the showers, pool, camp store, refill drinking water, and utilize any other campground amenities.
