“We love spot 26! It was a very quiet parking lot during the night.”

Dave K 5 · Sep 2026 · Campspot

“IT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF HOOK UP (WATER AND ELECTRICITY) AND DUMPING(SEWER) ARE AVAILABLE. JUST A SUGGESTION.”

Max Lomboy J 4 · Aug 2026 · Campspot

“For $35 a night with no hook up you should at least take care of the bees nest. We had to stay away from camp as my kids and I are allergic to bees.”
