Sites are tiny. No room for awning use and you can barely walk around your camper to use anything b/c it drops off. Looks this way on most sites. Bathrooms were the worst I’ve seen around lake. MUD everywhere! All the pads have red clay washed into them so you can’t even use your picnic table. Won’t be back.
