{"text"=>"Great campground. All of the sites I surveyed were level and easy to back in. The laundry room has two washers and two dryers that are available at no charge. Wow! That was nice.\n\nMost of the sites have electric only, but a few are full hookups. You can do a fresh water fill at the dump station. Speaking of the dump station: Only one camper at a time can dump. One could double back and pull up to the station, but you only have one drainage hole. This might be useful if you only needed water. You could get water while someone else was dumping.\n\nThere is a lot to do in the nearby towns. A lot of the campers here had their fishing boats with them.\n\nBe sure to check out the 600+ year old tree (pictured) during your stay.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
