Was a nice campsite. Wpuld have preferred to be closer tk the lake. This site was in the middle of a vault toilet and flush toilets. Bith bathrooms were clean well kept. There was random super loud music that started at almost midnight but stopped after 30 min. Overall it was quite and peaceful.

The campsite location was in a really good spot but all the trees at Campsite 13 were cut down so the picture on the site needs to be updated. We ended up moving to a first come first serve campsite in another part of the campground which was much nicer and had more shade.

Should’ve been called Camp Kindling. I don’t know whose bright idea it was to pour sticks and cuttings, not mulch actual huge sticks and branches, over the entire campground but it was a choice. We didn’t stay because there was nowhere to pitch a tent and frankly I was concerned about the fire hazard. Absolutely boneheaded decision by whomever is managing that campground.
