Every thing was great ! The boast was kind and friendly. Had a relaxing week until I went to the dump station! The water connection had been cut off the black tank water flushing hose! This is the second hose that hasn’t worked correctly! The black water flushing is an extremely important part of maintaining the black tank! The maintenance crew needs to have this on their check lists of things to check daily! So a great week ended with major frustration ( again this year) because I was unable to flush my black tank!

They did not have a garbage can at each site. I had to walk three sites down to go to the garbage cans to throw my trash away. I thought this was very inconvenient when I was there before everyone had their own trashcan.

We had Verizon cell service, which is important to us with elderly parents. Lot 25 is not for large Motorhomes, we had to park over the fire ring to get our rig level. But we had a beautiful view of the lake.
