Pretty campground. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We stayed at site 5. It's nice, but out in the open. There is shade, but the provided table is in the sun most of the day. This site is so close to another one, we had no privacy and our neighbors were loud and inconsiderate. We would stay here again in a different site.

We have been coming here for years. But will probably not be back. We got to the campsite there is no water and the bathrooms were locked. We contacted the camp hosts and were told the water would be working soon but the men’s bathroom would remain closed because someone had made a huge mess in it. 💩. The women’s bathroom was open intermittently but locked a majority of the time. There was one hole in the ground available for the entire camp. As we are tent campers we rely on water and restrooms to have a good camping experience. Also the hosts were not friendly or accommodating and at times were rude when we spoke to them about the issues. It seemed they were too busy entertaining friends to do their host duties and clean the bathrooms thus they left them closed. My wife even offered to clean them and was rebuffed. Worst experience in 35 years of camping.
