PROBABLY THE BEST WEATHER OF THE YEAR. TRICK OR TREAT IN A LOOP WAS A BLAST. I ONLY WISH PEOPLE (INCLUDING THE STAFF) WOULD SLOW DOWN.

This campground was on a beautiful lake, and about 70 % of sites had a view of the lake. We were assigned a site that did not, which being only 1 night was okay. The biggest problem I had was the shower facility. It was 34 degrees outside, and the bathroom was heated to the mid 50s. The shower needed to be turned on every 15 - 20 seconds, and took about 10 pushes to get warm water coming out. There was no heat selector for the water either. When it was warm I lathered up, only to find that I had reached my maximum allowed water usage. I had to wait about a minute or two for the timer to allow water again. It was maybe my worst shower experience ever. There was also no sign explaining the shower timing situation.

Unable to fish due to lake water being very high. Most likely from all the rain, otherwise we had a wonderful experience. Area nice and clean

Bathrooms are very well kept. Camphor are excellent. Too bad the flood had some negative setbacks to the grounds.
