Easy to back in. Campgrounds clean. Wonderful view. Bathhouse clean but too far from campsite. Campground Attendants very nice.

Overall, this is a nice site. The only issues we had the water faucet was too close to the ground for us to use our water filter and pressure regulator. We had to use a regular non-filtered hose to get it to fit. Also, we had to raise the front of the trailer a lot to get level. Side to side leveling wasn’t bad. Be careful making the turn when leaving because there is a sawed-off stump that might get in your way.
