I don't think I have ever encountered a camp host who truly cares about a campground the way Michael does. Amazing host. He greeted us, told us about the campground, helped us park our trailer with an extra set of eyes. Just a really nice guy who keeps his campground wonderful.

The camp hosts are great, same ones that were there last fall. The bathrooms in the main campsite area have flush toilets, which are much better to camp near (as we did on this trip), vs the pit toilets in the ground campsite area that we're terribly smelly during our trip last fall.

We were greeted by our friendly, helpful camp host, Michael. He gave us important information and helped us get oriented. It set the tone for a fantastic stay.
