Cushy beaches, interpretive center exhibits, and a variety of ball courts will burn those calories off in no time.

This was our second time camping here and it was even better than the first! My son loves it here. We stayed for 2 days. Beth helped transport all of our things in the UTV which was so helpful! We walked the creek and the trails. Played frisbee, made yummy food and made memories. I really loved seeing all of the wildflowers on my walk. Beth is very hospitable and kept us with a freshly powered Jackery so that my son could sleep with his heated blanket. Her dogs are the sweetest, and we got to experience nature in every sense of the word. It really is a special place.

Beth and Brian are wonderful! The campsite is well maintained, the wood bundles they offer are generous, theres plenty of trails to hike on the property, and its so peaceful and quiet here. My favorite part was making breakfast in the morning and hearing their sheep bleat in the distance. Very relaxing spot for a weekend getaway. Don't forget they offer UTV hauling to and from the campsite! Its a decent hike so I'd recommend it if you're a bit of an over packer like myself and my friends!

It’s definitely a haul from where you park your car to the tent site so I highly suggest you pack lightly but once you get there, it’s a really nice spot in the woods with everything you need. Also, definitely follow the directions provided as Google maps will try to take you down a road that has closed. We were only there one night and did not have time to explore the trails but looks pretty neat. Could see one coming from the campsite going off into the woods and the grassy hill before you get to the campsite looks to be a good spot to see the stars on a clear night.
