Went in early June and it was quite fun. Only downsides were the that the pine trees were pollenating heavily and the mosquitoes were thick.

I found the site a little difficult to use as the availability calendar does not always show prior to trying to reserve what is actually open but overall it worked out.

I made reservation about 2 months before. The day i was leaving i checked my reservation and it said it was canceled do to repaving. I was not notified by email or phone call at all. I reserved a spot with electricity and wasn't setup with generator . My reservation that showed cancelled said do not do anything that you was working on it. I took a picture of email and give it to camp hostess and he said he was going to let his boss know. i never heard anything from anyone after that . So i booked one with out and had to get generator to be able to come on vacation. I was not real happy because i was not contacted.
Sincerely
