We had a great time. The water was off for a minute but that's ok, we were prepared. The camp host was great! We've been making this trip for years and he was amazing. The water was high and the rain was low. Good times.

Stay would have been rated excellent except for the potable water system being shut off on day 1 due to bad test results. No alternative source of water was offered. Was told to drive 10 miles into town for water.
