Gateway Camping!!!
Great spot to see the surrounding cities. Very much tucked away but not far from the main road. Love the clean location, with easy access to local stores in case of midnight snack. Owner was quick to reply to any questions and very understanding.

The site was really level, and the location made it the perfect base camp. Having a store nearby made camping a breeze. If you like camping in luxury, this place is for you.

Views were good, had decent space for tent, and the walk is not far from the pitch site! Creek sounds and fire pit were great too!

Great location for my group of 5. Had plenty of space and the fire pit and grill were nice. Only downside is you can hear other cars at night as it’s near the highway, but otherwise it’s a great spot.
