It truly is paradise! The camp sites feel tucked away despite being just by the highway, but most importantly, the creek is off the chart! You really can't leave without at least a visit if not a swim. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and the coffee / breakfast cart made for a warm and toasty morning. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!
