Easy campsite, water was good, there was a clean area for dumping dishwater. Bathrooms were very clean, no light though so bring a flashlight, and remember to bring your own hand soap. Very nice site.

Camp site was beautiful. The camping spot I got was spacious and restroom near by. Men’s restroom was not working but there was another one near by. Close by to the village to do family activities. A lot of hiking near by.
