The site was really big. Almost to big because your camper is so far away from the table. We absolutely did not like the fact that it is in need of a lot of gravel. Thankfully it did not rain during our trip or it would have been mud. The first part of the site is dirt where the gravel is gone so be prepared to walk thru powdery dirt each time you go back in the camper. They have gravel on site, why they don’t put it in the sites is beyond me. Another camper told us they actually pull their camper in sideways to try to stay out of the dirt. Quit being lazy and making the campers figure out how to avoid the dirt, do your job and replace the gravel.
