This campground has very little attention.
As a camper, we do not have a bathroom in our camper. Therefore we are forced to use a disgusting, unsanitary bathroom. They are probably 45 or more years old and have only been painted. Gross. Not to mention they do not keep the bathroom stocked with toilet paper.
The grass is Always a month high the first of June. Family tradition will stop at axtel once the elders are gone.
The lady who volunteers at axtel is a kind,well organized person. She worked hard for us and there were 65 of us.

We have been camping there for years, it used to be the best, but now the grass is always too tall, trees have been ground up and still in a mound, ridiculous on holiday weeks to be so Anal about parking in the grass, was told boats were ok because not as much contamination from a boat vs a vehicle (joke) plan on still camping there hoping someone wake up and makes it as good as it used to be
