Site 12 - RV'ing W/Elec at site Water to fill
Beautiful location. Lower level is perfect for Class C or smaller. Upper area is good for larger Class A-type campers. We found some nice walking trails not far from the campsite.

Hot showers. Potable water. Cicadas singing in the background. We loved it here. It was a great spot for us on our travels.

Wonderful camping ground right off the highway. Felt safe, and area was very peaceful. Owners were extremely friendly.

Site 11 - RV'ing W/Elec at site Water to fill
What a nice campground. When I got there I realized I reserved the wrong spot. I was looking for full hookups. Wasn’t a problem at all. They just switched me. Very clean and well maintained. The young man who checked me in was helpful and polite. Met Dave later and had a great conversation. Thanks again, Dave. The only thing I didn’t like was the campground was very close to the interstate. So there was a lot of traffic noise. But the good out way the bad and I definitely would stay again.

The campsite was great. We arrived pretty late, but Dave and Brenda were very understanding and helped us get to our tent spot. Having a nice hot shower after driving for 10+ hours was very nice.

Site 1 - Tent Camping at Shady Brook
Staff was very helpful and assisted us with a late arrival. The site was well-maintained and spacious. Only two tent sites with mostly RV campers which made it quiet and convenient for a restful night sleep and easy access to the interstate Highway. Thank you
