#1 Creekside (tents only)
It was a neat expierence. Super Easy access to the place and was easy to find. Dollar general and a gas station was a super short walk away. The only downside was being so close to the main hwy, but I knew beforehand it would be loud. Michael is very responsive answered any questions I had. I was able to fit 2, 3 person tents and 1, 2 person tent inside the square. With room for another to fit.

This was a scenic campsite. Unfortunately, it rained heavily the night i used it but it had all the amenities a camper needs. For ring, picnic table, grill. For me, it was sleep in Subaru night. No conditions to enjoy.

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.

#2 Hilltop (small RV/tents)
Convenient location right by the highway, easy to get into Cherokee. Campsite number 1 was vacant, so had the place to myself. Nice flat area, easy to park the car. Accessible in my sedan for sure. Only real negative was the traffic noise, even late at night. You can also see lights from nearby businesses from the campsite.
