Wonderful campground! We loved our spot! Our dogs were happy walking through the beautiful landscape. Peaceful and quiet! Amazing amenities, laundry and large bathroom shower space. Best shower facility we have had so far in our travels!

Had a wonderful stay. Loved the foggy mornings and the wide-open view. It was great meeting both Ben and Kat in person.
