Wonderful camp host, very clean pit toilets, no electricity or water at my site.
The site met my needs and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Clean. Low mosquitoes.

We love this campground. I really hate that they have taken out the flush bathrooms and replaced with pit toilets. Also, the road needs a lot of work. It's getting harder and harder to dodge the pot holes.
Having said all that, the camp ground hosts are the best. The cute host in A/B loop decorated each site with a patriotic item on the number pole. They always check in to make sure we are being safe and have supplies. I wish this place wasn't so popular. It's getting harder to get a reservation.
