Nice campground. Many sites are very private. Rest rooms clean with flushing toliets and sinks.
Road noise from busy adjacent highway was very annoying.

nice camp ground. easy to get to. clean site. Better than average restrooms.
site 64 is way too close to a public road, about 90'. road noise was less than enjoyable. like camping on the side of a busy road. would not suggest any of the sites on the "Moun loop"

It felt secluded even though you could still hear traffic from the nearby roads. The city was close enough that you got the best of both worlds—outdoors and comfort of quick access to amenities if needed.
