OMG, It was beyond perfect. Except that the water in the restrooms and showers had some problems. Our group had 3 campers from different states. It was simple for them to find their way to stores and gas also. The place was clean and the location was perfect. Will do this again !

We stayed at site 51. It was fine, but it's very close to a busy road and sits right in the middle of two other campsites. The pictures made it seem somewhat private, but it wasn't.

The campground itself is very nice. The bathrooms were clean and were private with individual rooms with showers. Very helpful staff too.
