Very nice camp ground - staff very friendly. Only issue we had was another camper trying to put his satellite receiver in front of our campsite. They were camped about 200’ away uphill.

It is apparent the rules the COE has is not even followed. I read the rules prior to staying and had no issue. Dogs not on leashes. When I see a dig chase the Ranger down the road it is apparent they don’t care to enforce rules. Rules are 1 car per spot, however some had 2 up to 5. Because of this the grounds are degraded. Tried to check in 3 times always a a sign saying out. Never saw them make rounds. Sad state for this campground.

We had a blast! We stayed in site #47, it was close to the swimming area and not too many other site really close. It’s a bit of an uphill walk to the bathroom, not bad but be prepared. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone!!

The park and amenities are great. Love the whole place. The only issue is that the showers nearest to the latest campsite had no hot water. 🥶
