Bears riding Off-Road
Pros:

There was a $10, "all you want" hot dog and hamburger dinner, followed by karaoke. Meeting area locals was the highlight of the stay.

The owners were super friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It's an RV and camping facility popular with off-roaders. It's isolated, and the location doesn't offer much for the casual travelers. This isn't a luxury lodge.

My cabin could sleep 6 to 8 adults, but there was inadequate room to sit such a large crowd.

It made it an expensive lodging for a solo traveler.

loved it!!! and will return!!
Pros:

location was excellent for atv trails!!
owners are super friendly n very helpful, we stayed in cabin #3 n it was stocked well with towels n dishes!!

Cons:

probably less rain..🤣🤣
parking big trucks n trailers could possibly use bigger area to park, maybe away from road.
someone worry about it being up by road n getting stolen... but not a big deal just a suggestion to help improvements!!

We rented a small cabin with a full kitchen, it was clean and comfy
Pros:

We were welcomed and walked to our cabin by one of the campground owners. She explained how to use the fireplace, cute little lamp and where the coffee and cream were. We were shown our designated parking-it was a great way to begin our stay there😎

Cons:

Everything was wonderful!
