Always a good time at this park. Only suggestion would be that they would take down a couple of trees that are right next to road and in front of a couple of the camp spots. It makes it pretty hard if not impossible to get a bigger camper into the camping spot. The say a Certain length will fit but very difficult if not impossible.

This campground is the best campground we stay here a couple times a year. It’s a little tight for those of us with large fifth wheels so not the place for inexperienced backers.
