The bathrooms on the loop were closed up all week! We have been going to this campground for years and the main reason we stay on the loop is for the bathrooms. The last few years these bathrooms have had issues every time. We only get to go once a year and the bathrooms are 90% of the reason we stay here. So you can tell how very very disappointed we were! And they didn’t corps of engineers attempt to fix them the whole ten days we were there! I would’ve never drove all the way over there nor would’ve my friends from Texas had we know they were inoperable.
