Like an oasis away from the world. The limited spots and excellent staff ensure a great community feel to share the water and the facilities.

We love this campground and our campsite was great. It may need a new faucet tho, we weren’t able to get a good connection. The staff is also very kind and helpful. The scenery is beautiful and it was wonderful to be cool when everywhere else was boiling.

The grounds were well kept and the views exceptional. The water was so cold it helped to things down. I want to go back again and again!
