The camp hosts and the people running the check-in booth were all fantastic! And the new shower house in the Red Bud loop is a great addition but there were 2 big issues. 1st Issue: The new shower house building is VERY HOT. I sweated more while taking my shower than I did anything else while camping in the 2 weeks I was there. There is a small exhaust fan in each of the 4 rooms but it is way too small to pull the heat out. The park needs to install a larger fan. It was a very miserable experience taking a shower and trying to get dressed or shave or even to just use the toilet was a horrible experience. 2nd Issue: The gravel patio areas are washing out and disappearing. Most of the gravel is gone and the patio areas at every campsite is turning into dirt. When it rains or just the morning dew causes it to turn into mud and it's almost impossible not to track it into your tent, camper or vehicles. It's even becoming a bigger mess if you have a pet with you. New gravel or chat needs to be brought in. I also recommend larger chat or gravel. The tiny pieces of gravel gets caught in your shoes or your pet's paws when you come inside your and tent, camper or vehicles. A few years ago, a piece was missed when we did our final cleaning before leaving and our slide-out caught it and it ripped the floor of our new camper. It was only our 3rd trip in the camper too. We had to replace our whole floor and insurance did not cover the cost.
