Our camping was good until we had to cut our time short because of a Tornado/Thunderstorm at our home. We did not have s choice but to leave early on Sunday Aprilil 16. We notified recreation.gov as soon as we got home because Camp hosts were not available when we left . We were told because of the emergency maybe something could be done but we were wrong The people in charge of Sandusky did not see it that way Recreation.gov said it was up to Sandusky so I guess it was not considered an emergency. We had to put tarps on our roof to protect it plus try to get someone to work on it & get I. Touch with Insurance so rating should be way done

My husband is mobility challenged. Booked a handicap site. Appears new construction by bath house did not include a silk fence to help stop mud from filling the handicap site. Come on corps of engineers you are the guys who we all look up to. The next morning was dangerous footing but he walked towards road instead of utilizing the handicap walkway.
