Campsite was excellent. Easy to back into and level. Bathrooms and shower house was exceptionally clean. The only downside, which is not the fault of the COE, is that there was absolutely no over the air TV reception and cellular service with AT&T was nonexistent. Otherwise, the campsite and the campgrounds overall were excellent.
