Everything was great except there are no trash cans in the bathrooms in the main parking lot at the top of the hill. I had to take my trash to the dumpster to dispose of it.

Grass was very high when we got there and we was there for two weeks. It wasn’t mowed until two days before we left. It was up to our knees. Also the spots need more rock and leveled out to keep water from standing in them. Hopefully this gets better soon.

Everything seemed fine however our campsite I dont think had been cleaned or serviced. There was literally hundreds of cigarette butts all over the campsite. fire pit had 7 beer cans in it. My Wife and I tried to pickup as many butts as we could however there was just way too many. The Host was super friendly and nice.

The nature trail has gone to crap, all the placards identifying trees, flowers, hominy holes etc are in disrepair, when you get to the exit end there is a huge tree that has been placed there from site 15, my grandkids grew up playing there many years ago, I would be ashamed to take them thru it again

We do an anual campout with friends and family here every august. The campground is one of our favorites. However, when we arrived, the fire pit of all of our 12 sites was full to the brim with trash for the previous campers. I understand that the blame falls on the inconsiderate campers who occupied the sites before us but that begs the questions; What is the reason for the 2 hour gap between check-in and check-out times? It seems the camphosts aren’t doing anything to ready the sites for the next occupants.

Twice over the weekend the pit toilets ran out of toilet paper. Leaving many campers stranded.

All this being said, the new camp host was very kind and welcoming.

Regardless of my complaints, we will be back next year armed with double-ply toilet paper.

FYI: We left our campsites CLEANER than we found them.
Thanks for your consideration.
