We have camped here several times and have always enjoyed it. In the past, the host has kept toilet area clean and the site prepared for a new guest. This time, however, the camp host was unavailable during the full 3 days we were there. The trash in the vault toilet building was overflowing and never emptied. For this reason, I cannot give more than 3 stars.

Camp host comes out of now where, un announced 🤔. Dosent even introduce himself self or even say "HOWDY or HELLO" just says " I need to see your camp reservations." Of course I show it to him and then he just leaves. Very weird, if he's going to check reservations can he at least say "hello my names is ____ I am the camp host ,may I please se your reservations. " if that's to much then u guys should add on the app the car licenses plates so that's all the camp host has to look for and match. 😉

Site wasn't cleaned when we got there. Toilets were closed??? Says was full at gate, but lots of empty campsites. Never seen anyone do any work the whole time we were there. Otherwise camping was ok, may try this place again to see if anything changes.

The campground has really went downhill. The camp host this year are non existent. Bathroom are dirty, campsites are unkempt, trash along the road, and dogs of leash everywhere. I told the host about a dog off leash and he said "it's hard to enforce on leash when i let my dog run off leash". Really? We have camped here for 15 years and this is the worse. 4 day weekend and i saw the boat whiz by twice on his cart. They also allow swimming in the lake now.

D loop has easy access to vaults with different elevations so you don’t feel too close. The three step staircase points you down the path to the south end of the lake. Easy walk on hillside.

two flush toilets were not working!!! That says it all. Plus on campsite across from us had a huge fire going. Although it was in a fire box from home it actually seemed quite dangerous with flames two feet high. There was a fire restriction in effect
