While staying in space 54, I was unable to use the sewer clean-out because it was too high above the ground, as is all of the others that have sewer clean-outs. This I know because over the years I have camped in each of them more than once as well as my friends and this is the biggest compliant, we all have.

My biggest complaint is that the sewer connections at the full hook ups are too high, they need to be lowered.

We had an wonderful time at this camp. So close to the lake. Loved all the space for the cost. We appreciated all the security all hours of the day!

Great campground with different amenities such as canopies, electric hook ups(not all campsites) and good amount of trees. Each campsite is provided with trash bins. Has a volley ball court, small play park for kids and an amphi-theatre as well. Firewood is available at the entrance guard for a small fee, thanks to the scouts who provide them. Bathrooms were tidy enough. Overall good experience.
We were told there are coyotes and snakes but they haven't spotted one in some time, however on our last day of stay we did spot a rattle snake!

There were a lot of little cute animals roaming. However, the baby squirrels and/or baby rabbits made a hiding place in my engine and chewed the wires.
