The campground was much quieter and was shady. We experienced an issue with the 30 amp power receptacle, we reported the issue to the volunteer that evening and the following morning the repairman was there to correct it. A job well done.

Within the last 2 years, we've noticed that there has not been any hand soap in any of the restrooms. We buy hand soap to put in the restrooms. It's very unsanitary to not have hands soap in the restrooms.
