Nice clean campsite.
Biggest detraction of the campground was the camp hosts! Apparently, they do not have to abide by the same rules as everyone else when it comes to quiet hours and run their generator ALL night long. All other guests observed the quiet hour rules, but not the hosts. Have seen multiple other reviews that have all said the same thing about the hosts.
It's a shame that they do not observe the rules and think it's ok to be disruptive.

Giving this campground a 1 star due to what seems like a scam from the camp host. We paid for our campsite on line and then paid the day use fee at the self-serve pay station Friday evening when we arrived (2 days, totaling $18). When my husband went into the town for fishing supplies on Saturday, the camp host INSISTED that he pay the day use fee AGAIN when he was re-entering the campground area. He explained multiple times that we had already paid the fees the night before through the self-service envelope. However, she made him pay another $9 day use fee anyway. She said that, "that's just what I was told we had to do." We feel like this is a scam and the camp host is pocketing the money! Be ware.
