the entire campground is very well maintained. Camp hosts do an excellent job. Although paved, the road leading thru the recreation area to the campground is a little bumpy with pot holes.

WE STAYED IN A GROUP COMMON SPACES 65-66. HOSTS AS ALWAYS ARE GREAT AND AGAIN AS ALLWAYS CAMPGROUND WAS VERY CLEAN. ONLY REASON FOR 4 STARS WAS THE WATER HOOKUP FOR #65 WAS BROKEN AND THAT IS THE LARGER OF THE 2 SPACES. IT REQUIRED ME TO RUN AN EXTRA WATER HOSE TO SPACE 66 WHICH LUCKILY I HAD. JUST HOPE UNTIL IT GETS FIXED THE NEXT GROUP HAS LONG ENOUGH HOSES AND IF THERE ARE 2 TRAILERS A DUPLEX CONNECTOR OR 1 OF THE TRAILERS OR RV's MAY NOT HAVE WATER. SMALL PROBLEM AND IM SURE THE CAMP HOSTS ARE DOING THERE BEST TO REMEDY. OTHER THAN THAT LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE HOSTS.

Water filling station needs to be upgraded/fixed with working valves, hoses, etc.
Too much water is spilled to the ground from "leaks".
Camp hosts Mark and Lisa are awesome!!!!!!!!
Helpful, courteous, professional, personable, etc................

The camp hosts as always were great. The campgrounds over the years has continued to need maintenance/repairs in the showers.
