The camp grounds are becoming dog parks. The constant barking or dog shit left at the camp sites is ridiculous. I love dogs as Much as anyone. People need to think of others.

Very nice clean and quiet park. We enjoyed our stay. The only down fall is there are no laundry facilities on site. You have to go off the campground to get it done.
