The water in the men’s shower does not stay on long enough.

Was a tip that became better then expected. Clean from the camp site to the bathroom. What they don't tell you is the showers are great. High pressure and it doesn't run cold. People on the grounds are all very welcoming and happy to be there. Pick this site next and there will be no disappointments.

So much to say…If coming in from the west beware of 212. It felt like I might rock off the road because my 25 foot class C was swaying back and forth on this small elevated road. Be extra careful going past the industrial area as the potholes are humongous. At the campground, the vibes were off. I’m not sure if it was because the picnic table had layers of dirt on the bench and table or because there was a road going through the campground that had regular traffic. Stayed one night.

The traffic was awful. Due to the main road running through the campground it was awful. Will never visit this campground again.
