As we entered the campground I said to my fiancé what the heck. The first site to our left had multiple vehicles, 7 dogs and a pontoon boat almost on the driveway. Then you see the host site...5-6 cars, 3 tents and their camper. Individuals riding around on mini bikes, restrooms/showers disgusting. On our second night, woken up by fireworks going off at midnight! I have stayed here numerous times over the last few years and enjoyed every other stay. After my last stay, I can honestly say I don't know if I will ever go back. It was embarrassing, especially when we had family come and visit. This experience left me very disappointed and the worse part was we were planning on staying there a lot more. Only highlight was going to a friend's site there and feeling like we were in another world. Simply embarrassing!
