Such a beautiful & peaceful campground directly on the canal. The facilities are clean and beautifully maintained. The volunteer at the gate was friendly and helpful. This is a campground that we always look forward to coming back to.

Place was beautiful it doesn't get any better. The road coming in has speed bumps like no where else, they jar the camper so bad doors open because there off set and are redundant ever crawling across them. They are so bad I dont know if we will go back there!

Hate the miserable speed bumps on the entrance road.How about banning the speeders from entering. Why should the many be punished because of the few.
