This site was great! Very peaceful and relaxing. It is well maintained and everything was as advertised. It is especially helpful to have firewood included. It is good, quality wood and is located close to the site. I highly recommend this site!

Tamarack RV 2
Loved this place. I was in town for 1 night and stayed here in my SUV. The location was great, just a quick 2.5 mile bike ride into town for dinner. There was plenty of firewood at all of the sites. Even found a spot for the hammock near the for pit Host was very responsive to any questions I had leading up to the start and even while I was there. Will stay here again if in the area.
