This region features mountainous backdrops, rushing streams, and lush meadows dotted with swaying flowers. Set up your camp within the sheltering embrace of tall forest trees, unfold your lawn chairs by a crackling fire, and unwind with Mother Nature during your stay.

There are 61 sites with electric hookups of 40-50 amps, modern centralized washhouses providing hot showers and restrooms, and a sanitary dump station.
