Stayed 2 nights with a 43’ Class A.
Easy in lots of room to back and park. Little tight on the curve going out but doable. Great wide paved roads. Clean shower and bathhouse.

Original site had to be swapped because it so too unlevel to unhitch the 5th wheel. Now you have to call the 800 number instead of changing through the host which took over 30 minutes on hold. Thankfully, we decided to go ahead and pick an empty site and stay hitched until we finally got an answer because it was dark when we finally got it taken care of. This site was unlevel, also but was able to unhitch. It could be a great campground with work on the sites and friendlier hosts.
