More about the Campground

  • Campsites are relatively small with common areas for fire pits, corn hole, etc. In the Small and Medium Spots, they are very close together compared to other RV parks and resorts. Some guests prefer to rent two sites side by side if you prefer a private fire pit area with picnic table versus using the common areas.
  • We have fire pits and sell fire wood
  • Shower house and restrooms on site
  • Self-service dump station (Option at checkout to pay for dump service)
