Property was easy to find and set up. They are about .5 mile from the lake and all it offers. Loved the concrete pads for our rig. It poured heavy rain all night and was so glad we were parked on solid ground. Having hook ups as well made for a comfortable stay. Was very quiet except for the occasional car going past on the road. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing spot, super private and great hosts. It is off the beaten path a bit. There is a bit of off-roading as the paved road ends about 2 miles before you get to your destination. The rv pads are a bit narrow if you have a slide and want to stay on the gravel. However it’s worth it!

Very nice owner. The spots had plenty of room and were well laid out. I did have to use my mascerator pump to dump the tanks due to the sewer connection being uphill from our tank hook-ups. If your tank hook-ups were at the rear of your RV this would not be an issue but ours are forward of the axles. The park is in a good and quiet location.

LOVED this campground. Hosts are awesome and communication is STELLAR. Very helpful with information and suggestions. Amenities are exactly as described. Store has plenty of supplies for the 'oops, I forgot.' Spots are not packed on top of each other. Campground is quiet and well maintained. Lots of extras (cornhole, tetherball, etc.). Did not encounter any issues, and I do not doubt that if we had, they would have been addressed immediately. I hope this is a representation of all Hipcamp suggestions!

This is a cute little spot that is secluded enough for me, but also close to gas stations, food, and grocery for emergencies. They are currently building a shower area as well! The hosts were incredible!!! They provided wood and even brought me farm fresh eggs to cook! You can take a short drive to the lake, or grab some food on nights you don’t want to cook. One of the best parts was the Wi-Fi. I’m used to not having any and get by just fine, BUT being able to cozy up in bed and pop on Netflix, YouTube, whatever you want was great! The locals are welcoming and nice as well. Overall it’s a hidden gem that I will definitely be back to visit! Thank you for a relaxing weekend!
