Quiet and spacious rustic campsite, well shaded near scenic pond. Missed checkin window but map with my name was taped to the door. Bathhouse was tired and dated, but clean. Appreciated being away from highway noise and camping in a tranquil environment.

Nice quiet place. Water went out our first day due to storm, and there were no hot water one morning. Other than that, bathroom was clean, not too many people, quiet place. Plenty of space at the tent sites.
