The campsite was very organized and clean. The site was marked and ready for use when we arrived. The only thing that might have improved the site is if it sat back further from the road since the road noise is audible at night. Otherwise, a great location. Also, compared to other campsites I've visited the sites lack privacy. You have neighbors quite close by. Still, our stay was very enjoyable.
