stapleshuskies gave us this review on 08/23/09. Dates of Stay: 07/09. Will You Return? Yes. What did you camp in? Tent - Size of Camping Unit: n/a

Overall Campground Rating: excellent.

What stood out? Sites are immaculate, wooded, private. Most sites are drive-in.. there are tent only sites where you walk 50-100 feet into the sites, which give you added privacy and a feeling of being away from everything. Russell Pond is stocked for fishing; we brought our kayaks and had a fun time paddling around the small but peaceful quiet pond.

Owners and Staff: Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Camp landscaping and surroundings: quiet, wooded, open to view stars at night; no road noise; you can barely make out your neighbors.

Overall Site Quality: excellent

Good sites: seriously there is not a bad one, but we personally like the tent-only sites in the F area. Bad sites: n/a

Campsite hookups: not sure-- we tent it! Campsite Descriptions: wooded, private, sandy bottom, picnic table, fire ring; strict quiet hours for families 10pm.

Cell Phone Service: AT&T-- no coverage; Verizon-- coverage

Seasonal Campers and Campsites: neat and orderly, friendly campers,

Clean restrooms and showers? yes. Restrooms and showers need updating? no. Coin-metered showers. Are restrooms accessible from all sites? yes. Additional comments on restrooms and showers: The bathrooms are always clean. Two coin-op showers ($2 for 5 minutes).
