The campground was big-rig friendly (we have a 39' 5ver) and easy to get around. It was well maintained. The campground is beautiful.
We were in site 20 and the only downside was the rather large drop between the pad and ground. With the narrow site, it caused our stairs to be too short. We improvised, but a concrete pad there would have been nice and helpful.

Great campground, level sites, clean, well maintained and the camp host was friendly and welcoming. He did rounds several times a day and talked with folks. I’ve stayed at a lot of COEs and this was the first time I’ve seen a camp host be a camp host. Best park!

Wife fell at the sight because of a big drop off at the pad. She broke both bones in her lower leg and her ankle. She can't do anything for 8 Weeks

Overall experience was good but the loop was full of people that had big dogs that barked a lot, and most owners didn't attempt to stop them. Disappointing.

This is one of our favorites. Most sites are fairly level although a few have somewhat steep slopes to them. Bath houses and toilets are clean. Decent cell service with good signal on our T-Mobil phones and wifi
