The camping and sites are great. The view is great. The campground hosts are awsome, they make the experience perfect. I can't say enough about them. The grounds are always clean. The hosts interact with the campers.

The shower houses were impeccably clean, they are air conditioned/heated as appropriate which was a literal lifesaver during the heatwave.

A beautiful, well kept campground. Most sites back up to or in site of water. Bathhouses are well built, air conditioned and clean. The only down side would be no water at each site. Upon entering, we were directed to the station to fill our fresh water tank. With the Senior National Park pass the was $10/ night.

It was the first time camping here. The camp hosts were awesome. It was a very hot day and they tried to get us into a very shady spot. The electric kept kicking out so they gave us an electric cord to hook up to a 50amp until they could get an electrician out so we could have air conditioning. It was fixed the next morning. The camp host kept checking back on us to make sure there were no other issues. They keep the bathrooms very clean and the whole property was well kept.
