The site is very slow, it is difficult to find a location of camping sites at the campground with the app. If I had never been to the campground I would never had know what I was reserving and still not sure I booked the best available because of the site.

It was rainy/cool so we didn't get to experience all this campground has to offer. We did use the dump out which has multiple "stations"(4 I believe), so no waiting, it was also nice and level.

Beautiful and well kept camping areas! We do wish that there was water hook up available. It also would be nice to have a shower house at each campground. Employees were very nice and helpful!
We will difinately go back.
