Sites are small. Lots of traffic and the mosquitoes are vicious

While concrete is nice the design of the pad had to be done by a non camper. First the pad width was cut down by probably 4 feet so if you have a side door to the front of your trailer ,exiting is very carefull due to lack of a solid spot to step. Second there is no room for a picnic table and chairs on the concrete pad , and it is one or the other. Third who ever decided to put a fire pit in a hole was not too smart , you have to put your foot in the space that is left around the fire ring , a definite trip / accident hazard . Fill in the fire pit hole with gravel and put the ring on top. Add gravel so you can move the picnic table to have more room , this site used to be a favorite one , not no more. New and improved , not!
