“Quiet, clean bathrooms, beautiful scenery from campsite. Camped on a Sunday night, so no noise from construction, and the campground was only about 1/2 full. Loved the close proximity to Cecret Lake.”
“What a beautiful destination! Small, but so beautiful. We will be back - especially if George and his wife are the camp hosts. They were outstanding. ”
“I really appreciated George, one of the hosts. He was a great resource. Thanks!”
