"Love this campground because of it's lack of amenities which deters most "weekend campers". Would have given a 5 star review except for having $30 worth of firewood stolen during the day while out grocery shopping. Caution: There are low life thieves in the area... It's sad to think that their parents failed to teach them right from wrong growing up. I'm moving out tomorrow, even though I've paid for another five days. C'est la vie (that's life)."
"Few Lovely campsites with excellent water excess very quite horse poop overtaken place been coming here over 45 years family ties but horse are starting to be issue"
"Update 2023 Used to be free and still should be free.dry toilets are deplorable lucky if they're cleaned every couple weeks . Campground now used primarily by day users. Great location but not worth paying , not recommended, stay away"
"Definitely my all time favorite campground. Been going here for over 25 years. It's primitive camping, no running water or electricity. They do have hand pumps for well water and out house bathroom's. Grounds are always clean. Great times here."
