Weekend Trip to Star Gaze campground

I was able to locate the place easily with my GPS, there is an address posted at the site and the directions provided were clear. I was met upon arrival and offered my choice of locations. I was able to stay right next to the river, there were chairs and benches available along with a very large fire pit. It was quiet and I was able to enjoy sitting by the river. There were some very good suggestions of places to go check out near by, which I did, and they were great.

What a wonderful stay!! The hosts were so kind and welcoming, even going so far as to help us out with setup. They responded to questions quickly, gave us extra firewood when requested (hand split!!), and the porta potty was the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. The stream alongside the campsite was a wonderful touch and added in some great background noise!
