Camp host was very nice.

There is only one set of bathroom, but they bathrooms were clean the entire weekend.

Some spots next to the road to the lake are noisy & dusty.

The camp host (Pat) was amazing. She kept the bathrooms spotless and smelling good. My biggest complaint was the people speeding down the road that bordered the campground. Most were going very fast and it made TONS of dust. It was horrible and all the campers were upset about it.
