  • This facility is AMAZING! This is a community park that appears to be well known among the local region. Currently, it is $30/night for full hook ups and is big enough to accomodate our 65ft rig at many sites, there are pull through and back in spots, first come first serve. Due to our size we opted for a pull through in mid September. The grounds and local community are beatiful and well kept up. There is a paved lake walk that is about 1.25mi around as well as other local walking and biking opportunities. Bathroom is maintained with showers, no laundry. Regularly patrolled by park rangers. Highly recommend this facility and community.
  • This is a really nice park, connected to lots of trails in the Cedar Valley. There is a campground, a few cabins, and the lake is very fun to explore via Kayaks. We love to go early in the morning to get a really nice experience with mother nature and all the animals.
