Very nice campground. Had a full hookup site 39. Park was quiet and well kept. Shower were dated but clean. Limited laundry facilities, 2 washers & 2 dryers. The nearest town Sullivan was small but had a nice grocery store and the people were friendly. Shelbyville was about 20 miles away and had a Walmart and some restaurants.
