Well it’s across the street from a prison so that’s unsettling. Tried to take a shower at all the bathhouses and either the water didn’t work or it wouldn’t get hot.
No dump station found. Even though ones listed on map. We looked everywhere and drove around searching as well. So had to come home with full tanks

We loved our stay here. It was the final weekend and we had the entire loop to ourselves. The camp host was so kind to our kids. They had so much space to run around and enjoy nature. We will be back!
