Dusty road, don't pick campsite 11. We ended up moving to site 9 which was much better. In the middle of the night someone walked 2 feet from our tent. After a night of no sleep (freaked out) the camp host told us that it was likely a fisherman, walking thru our campsite. No, this is not acceptable! The camp hosts were wonderful, our hats off to them. I would not go back here.

Loved the large camp sites. The park is clean and well maintained. The road surface stirred up a lot of dust from wind and vehicles driving though. Otherwise, great place.

We stayed at this campground after leaving the original campground we booked. It was clean and the host was friendly.
