The people working the check in are so slow. They strike up conversations with people in line about nothing to do with camping slowing the process. They need to check people in and do the job at hand

The place was well maintained and very nice. Someone was camped in my reserved site, forcing me to stay in a spot that we would not stayed in the first place. While I was there I saw more of the same which mad the campers highly agitated. A better job needs done to make sure the reservation system works.

Shower house was air-conditioned and restrooms were very clean. Our site was too sunny because there were some dead trees but it looks like they are planting some new ones. Sunsets were spectacular!

Everything was great. Heat was excessive, but doable. Everyone was very friendly at campground. Check-in people were very helpful and friendly. We were first time campers here, had lots of questions. All were answered with no problems.
Have rebooked for the fall.
