Very well maintained. All sites in excellent condition and all with a measure of privacy. Restrooms close enough to all sites. Close to so many things to see and do. Onsite canoe rental as well as an excellent beach. During our stay there was a fire ban so no cooking over the coals but had we been able, the fire pits and grates at the sites were at a height and of a quality that would have made cooking a delight.
I personal relish the quiet and folks were respectful. Kids could be kids and dogs were dogs, but people respected other folks need for quiet.
The biggest issue is the difficulty in getting a reservation; the place is so popular that we had a tough time getting what we wanted, even looking 6 months in advance. If you do not have a fast computer you may be out of luck. Glad that there are spaces held for first come first serve, but don't count on getting one. The place was full the entire time we were there.
There are several hosts and a manager on site so if there is a problem it is easy to report it to someone. The hosts do much of the day to day maintenance and, besides keeping the place clean, are easy to find, often knowing about an issue before it is reported.

Nicest campground we've ever camped in other than Walt Disney World Fort Wilderness. Well maintained, CLEAN bathrooms and showers. Awesome campsites. Roomy, and mostly level, spaced from other campsites nicely. Not on top of each other!!
Only one little complaint. Dumpsters near restrooms and campsites became a little unbearable in camp. Dumpster was full and did not get emptied in over 3 days. UGH!!! Talk about attracting bears!!!
Otherwise, All staff and hosts were very friendly and accommodating!!!
We will return!!!
Thank you!
