Very quiet but locals using campground without reservations. Saw a small group using the spigots to bathe in and then used a neighboring electrical campsite to charge their phones. Saw some urinating in bushes as they did not have access to secured bathroom.

Did not feel very safe. Camp host was aware they were there as she was out watering grass with hose and ignored them.

Also, trash in campsite and glass bottles had to be picked up when arrived.

It was nice to have showers and flushing toilets. However, there were several people here with RVs in non-hookup sites that ran their generators.

Very friendly and helpful host greeted me when I entered and informed me about fire warning. She instructed me how to immediately obtain a fire permit online so I could use my BBQ. I viewed online video, took test, and received my permit online within 15 minutes of setting up my camp. Very clean and well maintained campground.

The site was very clean including the restrooms. The camp hosts were really helpful with picking the site, getting me setup with Reservations. Gov, and how to use it after I screwed things up. It is a friendly place.

Very helpful staff. Advised us if a more preferable campsite than the one we chose. Later they helped us troubleshoot a problem with our electrical hookup cable

The campground is easy to get to off the expressway. Lots of amenities in the area.

The campground had a lot of trees, which is nice for shade. The trees were not maintained though and there were a lot of branches dragging across our motorhome as we drove around or within our campsite. Only some of the sites had electric and water, which is a shame because for the most part those were the only ones occupied.

There is no dump, which all the reviews indicated that we read. We ended up dumping at a Love's for another cost. This campground is worth doing a few more updates to make it easier to camp here and bring in some more campers.
