We had a great time camping a few weeks ago. I had registered for different days and they were so kind to work with me for the days we needed. Site was very clean. Bathrooms were very clean. Every one we encountered (workers) were friendly and kind. Only small complaint, they start early with leaf blowers! Also, the new early checkout time doesn't leave much wiggle room to prepare. Basically wake up and breakdown your campsite! Of course we will be back!

Manager was rude, When we checked in we only received 1 car pass, later in the week I ask for another car pass because we were going to bring another vehicle, she didn't want to give me what we paid for, we paid for a camping spot on line and it included 2 car passes but we only were allowed to get one.
we were excited to get out of the house and camp for the first time this year but the manager spoiled part of our camping trip,
