Host did not actually clean the restrooms most of the week we were there. Simply replaced the toilet paper. I cleaned the sink to make it somewhat usable. The showers were filthy to the point of unusable. Campsites we not cleaned. We cleaned up litter and cleaned out the fiepit ourselves. A new host is needed.

As far as our site and the campground, excellent! Our timing this year … hot, humid, BUGS everywhere … not so much. Thank God for our camper & A/C; tent camping would’ve been a nightmare. We’ve stayed, before, same time of year, a couple years ago … absolutely wonderful! No fuss, no bugs, and great weather. 🤷♀️

Although this was a one night layover on our way home, did enjoy our stay. Friendly host, site clean, grounds in perfect condition, nice relaxing atmosphere, beautiful sunsets. Facilities are a bit dated but functional. For those expecting a Holiday Inn experience, go to a Holiday Inn. Will definitely come back for a longer stay!

We never even stayed, but was charged. I tried cancelling early morning of the first day before of arrival of 2 day stay. Online said I would receive $20 back in a refund. However, recreation.gov was NOT allowed to cancel the reservation. I was told to call THIS campground directly. I called two or three times, was told a Rec Manager, David Mooney, had to cancel. Well, he REFUSED to cancel the reservation. He kept ALL of my money even though I was owed back $20 refund on my credit card AND they would have been free to rent the second night again. I emailed to report this, but never heard back from the Park Service either. This was first trip I tried any of these campgrounds. Left a bad taste for me. I will use other Parks in the future.
