The site was perfect for us. Private but close to the playground and restrooms which were very clean. The camp host was very helpful and pleasant.

I was disappointed that I was not notified that the hot water stopped working at the campground. I would have preferred some type of notice and a partial refund. To spend $108 on a spot that did not have power nor hot water at the showers was too expensive in my opinion. I very much want to support these services, so I don't mind too much, but I do think the amount was excessive when there are free camping sites across the street.
