The park was well maintained.
SIte 154 could use some maintenance along the edge of the drive. Someone could easily twist or break an ankle.
The showers were good but there was not much water pressure and 3 out of 4 of the shower heads did not work very well.
We enjoyed our long weekend and we will be back.

Nice campground with great facilities. Shower heads definitely need work. Some were not really usable. We did have an issue with electrical outlet but it was addressed immediately.

Do not reserve 129 Dogwood. Especially after it rains. We were slipping and sliding all over the place because it was all mud and no grass. They didn’t clean up after the guests before us, so my dogs ended up getting into harmful stuff the previous campers left and I had to rush them to the vet.
