The fire pit grille is in bad shape has holes in the metal and hot coals can fall out and burn you!

The people in our site abandoned it for 2 days and didn’t vacate it until 4:30pm the day we arrived, which was a Friday. The Ranger had to call them. The bathrooms were never cleaned or restocked on Saturday

we had campsite 218. It afforded us a great view of the lake with steps and a trail down to the water. The site was sloped so hard to level. We have a pull behind camper. The campground is a nice place to walk. We walked to the little camp store right outside of the front gate. It is a wonderful store with a bit of almost anything that you would need. I even bought a seasonal candle. The owner gave our dog a nice treat.
