Lovely place.
Our only recommendation would be to do away with individual fire pits because the sites r rather close and smoke can easily invade other folks sites. How about 1 community fire pit where all could gather?!

We really enjoy camping at Potato Patch! The sites are a good size and well maintained. The bathrooms are always clean and tidy (and they don't smell!).

We had an electric site that stated it was 30 amp. It only produced 15 amps from the service box. FYI - It didn’t have water spigots, as mentioned on Recreation.gov, between sites. There was one by the bathroom though.
We had 4.0 strength on our cell service (Verizon)!
The campground itself was okay. We were scheduled to stay here for 4 nights. The volunteer hosts, that were there during our day, were Rick & Krista (?). We’ve stayed in more than 200 campgrounds and never experienced antagonistic hosts, until now! Needless to say, we left early and went to another campground.
Rick said, “Go ahead and give us a 1 * review.” (What brought that up!! WOW! We weren’t even going to bother writing a review.) Okay Rick, here’s your 1 * review!
