Decent cleanliness, Bathrooms could use more attention. There was a loose bull around the area, that had made several messes around the campsite. It would be nice if the campground host would be more attentive to those issues. Great location for big groups!

Everything about this group you say except for one thing was great. The water that was potable , either had just been treated or had extreme high amount of chlorine in it.

Beautiful place. We were having a wedding and bath rooms needed cleaning. The grounds keeper, Chris, was awesome. He came right away, did a great job and was very friendly. It was the perfect location and facility.
