For me this has always been a stop along the road to another destination. It has a pleasant gift shop and all the basic necessities. Picnic tables for a lunch along the way. Fuel, and more.

Down the road from an older camp ground by the same name, this place has small sites with little privacy and the fire pits cost extra. The tent sites are close to the highway with nothing blocking the lights or sound.

Nice place for RV camping for a night or two but the kids playground is very minimal, pool is not heated and from the looks of the heat system it has been a long time with no heat.

Stayed at this campground for one night while passing through on a trip. Pull through sites were easy and back along the outer edge of the park with grass and mountain view across the road. The pool being open was a very nice surprise for our kids they loved going for a swim! Overall wasnt very busy and would stay again as they made it easy. Cute little gas station right at the enter an email which made it very easy to fuel up before going to the incredible heritage town site which is literally the next turn down the highway. Definitely recommend this campground after we stayed for a night

Great RV campground. Flat sites, reliable power, big trees. Nearby horses and creek. Great base camp for lots of little adventures.
