Very clean and well managed campground. With Sullivan only a few minutes up the road it makes a great place to stay. The sites are generous in size and the bathroom/shower facilities are clean.

As a side note; Apparently with T-Mobile's acquisition of Sprint those of us with T-Mobile now have pretty good coverage where none existed in the past.
