great campground - amazing host - very quaint & quite crowd with great space & firewood
spotty/ voice only coverage for Verizon & ATT.
Clean restrooms. The host was kind enough to have us use the available open spot that was reserved by someone but never showed up.
Note: Campsite no. 12 is NOT FF; it's where the camphost host lives :)

ginormous site (it's split between 2A-2B & then 2C & 2D - great if you have a wedding party! massive collection of picnic tables in the middle.
lots of trees - easy access to a clean restroom & clean showers ($5 cash paid in envelopes)
Voice only coverage for Vzw & ATT - no Data
