Through no fault of the campsite host, our campsite was completely flooded. When we asked the hosts if there was any other accommodations, they simply said nope, and wouldn’t help us out. Our entire campsite was under water, our fire pit was flooded, all around the picnic table was flooded. So I paid to sit on pavement the entire time. I’m furious at the lack of compassion and consideration of the camp host couple. What a horrible trip made worse by horrible hosts.

Great campground, It tends to have a lot of ATV's since it seems they have a nice trail specifically for ATV's leading out of the west end of the campground.
The campground is well cared for by the host.
