I have cameras here for over 20 years and when booking a site it states that there are flushable toilet. When arriving on July 12 it was brought to our attention that there was only two flushable toilets available for loop B and C There was only two camp host. No porter potties were placed for this facility, the two available restrooms were overflowing with feces. They only came once or twice if that, throughout the day to be cleaned. Camp host Mark the manager was very rude, and had no consideration for any of the campers. Based on this awful experience, I believe that I should receive half of my refund.

Great camp hosts! They went above and beyond by helping our grandson with the keys locked in his car!!
Also, it was super busy there and toilet paper was constantly running out but they got to it very fast.
Very friendly!

Mark and Sharon, Camp Hosts, were magnificent. They went out of their way to help us with a lock issue. In addition, we have never seen such clean bathrooms. We have been camping for 30+ years and all over the US.
