We always enjoy our time at Thomson Causeway. The concrete pads are level. large clean dump station, and it is a beautiful area.
Recommendations: remove the huge bump strips from the roads, do not mow around the campers (go too fast & could injure campers and damage campers & vehicles), and leave fire wood at camp site that previous campers have left for the next camper (caretaker went around campground, searched empty sites & loaded wood onto her site vehicle).
