We were in the Upper loop this time
Very different experience
You have people who donβt know the camping rules.
Really donβt think we will come back to this park in the future

Not very kid friendly. One of the camp hosts were rude and said it was a place to come and relax, not for kids to play. This was at 5:30pm.

Loved the location at the lake but # 18 was very disappointing for our site. It is not a good site for a trailer. We stayed one night of our three and headed home. Couldn't open our awning because of tree and door faced the camp restroom. Table and fire pit are back behind on the other side of trailer. Next time we would like to experience a better site. for sure. I do not recommend this site to anyone with trailer.

We love this campground and have always enjoyed the lake. The drinking water was shut off during our stay with no warning and all campers were left to fend for themselves. At most campgrounds where I have seen this happen there is usually water provided in big tanks or something.
