Eagleview Group Campground – is a Full Hook Up covered host site, small monthly reimbursement, on-site washer and dryer, and golf cart for carrying supplies. Eagleview is a small reservable group campground with two vault toilets. It also has a day use area and picnic pavilion that is very popular during the season.
Scaredman Campground is best suited for those who want a more rustic experience as this site does not have many amenities. This is a small campground with 10 sites and one vault toilet. Located along the beautiful Canton Creek in old growth forest.
