Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Campspot ↗ (31 reviews, ★ 4.4). Not written or edited by us.

“The site was very convenient to where we were fishing. The bait is amazing and blew my expectations. Only reason to not give 5 stars is out trailer did not sit level at our site even after putting it on blocks. Definitely would recommend staying again.”
