Its a great campground aside from the fact that over 500 trees have been removed due to disease. The only negative was a site across from us had 6 dogs that constantly barked every time someone walked by with another dog. I think there should be a cap on the amount of dogs allowed at one camp sight.

All the wonderful trees have been cut down, sites are now transparent to each other, the magic of feeling your deep in the woods for kids is gone. New seedlings were planted, but better to return years from now an enjoy with another generation. Restroom/ showers weren’t work and they the ones that were get closed early! It would be nice to leave them open till at least dusk.
