The showers are lacking. The heads don’t spray correctly and the water temperature for October and especially November needs to be warmer

We stayed here while we went to Crater of Diamonds. It one of the most beautiful camp grounds we've ever seen! The water in the lake was crystal clear, just beautiful, the trees were changing color and reflected in the water..gorgeous!
