I like the camp sights, but I would like to see more 50 amp. service so when it's hot in the summer I can run both of my air conditioners.

Please repair the light on the boat ramp. Also, I am concerned about what’s going to happen when we have all volunteer gate attendants! Current attendants Gary & Shirley Felkins are awesome, always there to help when you need something! Please find a way to keep them on staff!

Campsite was very dirty. The grass was knee high and there was an open trench that we had to drive across to get our camper in. The site was ok, as it was by the lake but we wont be going back to this campground.
