Campsite had a very large puddle/mud hole that took up most of the site after the rain. Other than that was a nice site. As long there is no rain should be fine.

The area was not mowed well. Very high grass to walk through. Patches of missed mowing. Disappointing when wanting to play yard games with grandkids. Bathrooms are clean. No golf carts after dark is not enforced.

As usual after many years of visiting and camping it was wonderful. All the volunteers were great. Very resourceful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The mowing was the worst I have ever seen. Alot of dead grass strips and uneven mowing.

Very clean. We had no power when we hooked up so contacted a camp host. They were able to let us hook up at another box and at 9 the next morning our bix was fixed and we were up and running. Thank you!
