Campsite given away by camphost for not staying 2nd of 3rd night. Also, took my firewood and kindling either to burn or sell. Beautiful place, bad luck.

Clean pit toilets, grounds well kept. Randy the host was very friendly, frequently walking around the campground. Several people trying to find a spot even though the campground was full. Thanks Randy for being on top of it.
