The location of the area is wonderful. The bathrooms were clean and it was very quiet at night. However, site #43, where we were, does not have a very good flat space for the tent. Also the site was covered in firepit ashes all around the table, tent area, and fire area, so the dog got very dirty. It looked like the firepit ashes where spread around the site. Not sure why the ashes were everywhere- other sites looked nice and clean. Other than that it was good.

We had sites 15 and 18. Site 15 was large and in a good location, but the lack of tent pads means having to set up a tent a bit farther away from the table/fire ring to find a semi-flat area. Site 18 I reserved just for myself since I snore and would not disturb my family and friends. This site is very small, I set up a small tent in the vehicle parking area for that site since that was the only semi flat area, this site is also close to the bathroom, which I liked for middle of the night bladder trip.

Site #15 is not laid out very well. The picnic table is a long way up a slope from the parking area and the entire site was uneven. It's close to the lake, which was nice.
