The couple in the check in hut were amazing and super nice. Campground was clean, comfortable and very functional. Exactly what we needed for a quick over night stay while passing through.

I found the check-in process confusing. Just before the gatehouse, there are a bunch of orange cones sitting in the way in every lane except one. Since the previous COE campground we had just come from, was checking people in at the window, I thought that might be the case here, so I pulled on up. Apparently, this is a monumental mistake. The host was downright rude. He was intent on watching TV and didn't like the interruption of a camper checking in. It took beeping the horn a couple of times just to get his attention. He then had a real attitude. I've never been talked to like that at a COE campground. The site itself (#40) is very unlevel. It has a water view, but most sites do. It was very quiet but I won't be staying here again. The McKinney and Clark Creek campgrounds are better.

Great pull through spot on two levels. The firepit and picnic tables are down a short set of stairs, and the 20ft trailer was easily levelled in the pull-through drive. Excellent views and plenty of shade.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
