Camp hosts were helpful. It was beautiful. It would be nice if there was no music heard from other campsites at night. We were glad that did not last very long.

I have camped here for the last 14 yrs, this is the first time that the bathrooms were not cleaned more than once, then the people cleaning the bathrooms told us that all 4 restrooms were being cleaned, instead of them cleaning 1 at a time which is what they did, they opened all 4 doors and we couldn't use them, and the water for showering was VERY HOT.

What I appreciated most about this campground was the campground staff and their attention to detail. They are consistently cleaning the restrooms and monitoring the campground. Although the local ice machine should be repaired .
