We just needed a place to park our camper and sleep for a couple of nights and this was perfect for our needs! We arrived after dark and there weren’t any numbers marking the campsites but we quickly figured it out. Would definitely stay again!

Great Location and close to highway. Easy set-up with electric. Pretty view of woods. Some nearby neighbors are visable but not an issue. We would book again.
