The tables were nasty and the women bathrooms were nasty as well. The canopy needed sweeping up and clean under that.

The campground was small and quiet! I had 30amp power, water, concrete pad, picnic table and fire pit. The bathrooms had showers with plenty of hot water. However... they could stand to be upgraded. The camp host checked on me a couple of times with the upcoming weather and loss of power due to a fallen tree. I would have given a 5 star if not for the bathrooms. 👍😃

Good money went to build this campground, it can be much better maintained.
Site #5’s water does not work. The utilities are on the wrong side. Could be made into a pull thru.
Showers need repairs. Light sensor not functional, shower heads not working properly.

Camp ground is clean and very well maintained. Bath houses are in very good shape. I would recommend this campground to everyone.
