The campground is nice but our site, B31, was on the top of a hill and extremely windy. We lit a fire but quickly put it out because we were afraid the embers might spread. There were also no lights in the bathroom.

Nice but tight campground for motorhomes. I, like many others, was able to open my slides just fine. I put a cone out just because i had one. Several trails right from the campground. Definitely going bavk.
