Camp in site 1 which was noisy from the highway traffic which I expected. The area for the tent has a definite slope to it and needs to be fixed when funds are available. Camp host was very pleasant and and latrines were topnotch.

We love it here. Nice clean quiet campground. Sometimes the flies are pests. We put out fly traps to help keep them down.
