Campground was clean and shaded spacious between sites. Bathrooms and showers were clean which I would attribute to the Campground Host whom I saw regularly checking and cleaning. Only negative is cell reception which was spotty at best.

The playground was a plus for the grandkids. We love the cool outdoors weather. We did have trouble with site 7 electrical outlet. The breaker kept flipping off throughout the night. That was very irritating.

This campground was a hidden gem for campers like us who like 30 amp electric but don't need full hook-up. The area was wooded and campers were respectful. Bathrooms and showers were adequate, though only one person (of each gender) could use their respective restroom at a time. Nice area by dam for fishing. Only drawback was lack of connectivity for our US Cellular with Verizon towers.
