The camp hosts turned off the water and told us if we wanted to use it, to bring more money. We were there for 8 days. They constantly drove their golf cart around to monitor my family and I. There was a group to us there. We’ve been going to this campground for 45 years. Never had a problem with the water. There was no soap or towels to wash your hands with in the bathroom. But due to “social distancing” they closed one of the women’s bathrooms down, but failed to provide anything to clean your hands with.
It was a frustrating week with those hosts.
