Just wanted to brag on how well the bathrooms/shower house was cleaned. The host were so friendly.

Absolutely loved our stay!!! Site was clean and level. The water pressure was amazing and electric worked perfectly. The camp hosts were very nice and informative. The only thing to “complain” about but when camping it is expected is the carpenter ants were really bad around our site but not enough to ruin our stay. We will definitely be coming back again.

A large group just down the road and around the corner was ridiculously loud until well after 11pm and no one showed up to ask them to stop. I was forced to pack up and leave because there was no sleeping with their hollering and slamming of objects. It seems as though people visit and disrupt others’ experience without being checked.

Always love our visit. Site hosts are amazing and do a great job. I feel parents let their kids run to freely and don’t watch them very closely. We have littles and the playground is over powered with older unruly kids. This part is very frustrating. Left the area a couple of times
