The campground was very nice but the camp hosts were ignorant and very hard to work with.

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.

Camp hosts made it so spending time in the campground was hectic. They turned it the water, the wife of the host yelled at my sister and her kids.

There are about 30 of us that go camping every year. The past couple of years have been particularly hard with the camp hosts. This year to cook the cake as far as hardness and difficulty. The hosts made it miserable and I still can't get an email response back to try to rectify it.. I have been coming for 16 years and my wife's family has been coming 4 more than 40.

Very beautiful campground, however the water gets shut off at night, and doesn’t get turned on till the next mid morning. So it makes using the toilets gross, and drinking water a small a trickle. I’m getting tired of paying what we pay, for no water resources.

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.
