The site was very clean and level. There was some noise from the road close to our site. We were across from the bathrooms/showers, and people were driving in and using the facilities in the middle of the night.

The park is very nice. Trees need to be trimmed throughout the park. Fire pits are not cleaned very often.

The campsite and the campground were well-maintained and overall, excellent. However, no maps were available when I arrived and the people in my party who did get maps of the campground said that the SHOWER HOUSES and WATER POINTS were NOT on on the map! These are the 2 things most campers are concerned about!

Lovely and quiet. Great biking and walking paths!
The only negative is lack of cell phone connectivity.

We enjoyed the spacious campsites and the clean restrooms. It is also a great place to bike with the trail close by.

Hosts are great. Greeted while filling water. Site was not hard to get level. Showers were cleaned and looking very well maintained. Cell coverage was not great but that did not take away from a great experience. Will definitely be looking forward to the next time.
