We had a very nice time staying here. The only complaint we had, was unfortunately not just a small inconvenience. My family, the 2 other families with us, and everyone else that was in our loop all had a problem with it... (everyone was talking about it up at the bath house...). There is no hot water in the showers. Maybe for about 5 seconds.... then you're taking an ice bath. Definitely not what you want to take a shower in. The bathroom sinks had hot water, but not the showers. This was a major complaint that we all had and no one camping that weekend was happy about. I heard from one of the campers that this is not the first time they have delt with this problem, although they thought it would have been fixed by now. If you guys can get that fixed, you'd be good to go... but man, that put a damper on our trip. Who wants to take an ice cold shower every day??

The grass needed to be cut, and the dock wasn't in the water yet and the park was closed, still had a good time lots of trails to walk and very quiet.

Bobby and Janet were very nice and helpful. Janet told me they need stuff. Mowing grass being one of those things.
