One bathroom facility for 51 camp sites. Bathroom was filthy. Camp site was on the side of a hill. No level ground for a tent. Had to sleep in truck for three nights because of the constant wind and rain. Terrible experience. Would never go back to this camp site again.

The camping sites are too close together. The bathroom ran out of toilet paper. Good thing we had some. Other than that we like this campground.
