Worst place for phone service and satellite. Spot was too close to dump station too many flies and ants. Camp site does not have water hook up. Called customer service 4+ times received different information each time.

Smaller COE campgrounds with 21 sites. Most sites are large to fix big rigs, Electric only - Dump station and potable water if halfway thur the campgrounds. There are water spickets throughout the campground. Could not pick up any TV channels through our antenna, park rangers were cleaning sites. Only shower house had 1 room each for males/females. Nice park area outside the campgrounds.
