Camp host was awesome! Spot was quiet and secluded. Felt safe and had a great time! Can’t wait to go back.

It would be great but there are to many noisy generators running and people blasting their music because I guess they think all their neighbors would like it.

It’s always well kept. The only suggestion would be to have set our limited generator hours because the noise from one can be very disruptive.
