The campsite was nice, mostly shaded, and for the most part clean. My major issue was how narrow the site was. In order to reach the hook ups I had to pull to the rear of the site and when I walked out my trailer door I was in my fire pit, which no one had ever cleaned. In order to walk on the pad I had to pull the picnic table off of the pad. But the new bathrooms were wonderful and there was a nice amount of space between the sites. So overall I was happy with my experience.
