I had a lot of fun for the time we were there that it wasn’t raining. Didn’t really get to get outta the tent and do much besides swim a little and float on a tube from the top of camp down to our camp site which was a blast. I’m sure I would have had more fun if it was better weather conditions. Bathrooms and showers within walking distance from our camp which was also really nice. Definitely will be returning soon when the sun is shining!

Campers next to us in the group camping area where loud & playing music and stayed up till 3am . Sunday morning!
Told the camp ground host about it & he was going to make rounds and inform the Rangers . Not a dang thing happened! Terrible patrolling! It was a very long night! No one patrolled after 10 pm or someone would have seen the rainbow lights and drunken folks around. I know their was a phone number available But if the patrolling was better and on a regular basis! In Our group where 7 men. We could have took care or this situation!! But it would have been a very very bad for other guests in our area when it escalated.
Next time it will be done differently!
Nice camping area , just disappointed in the severity someone’s breaking the rules and getting away with it! At the expense of others !

The campground was great. Didn’t like some folks were running generators (we were tent camping).
Also the bathrooms were really gross & run down. Loved the showers however.
Grass was well kept. People were quiet and respectful.
