We visited this camp ground in early October. The grounds were very clean. We had great wi-fi connectivity with T-Mobile. We did not use the WeBoost. The bath house was clean and offered nice, hot showers. The camp hosts were not very friendly. Didn't offer a map of the grounds or help to navigate us to the correct camping site. We've stayed at many Corp of Engineer sites and that had never happened before. A self-check in would have been just as easy.
