Everything was in pretty good shape except for the sewer at site 21 and the restroom next door. The sewer was completely stopped up and had been that way for sometime. Also the roads need to be repaired. Hard to walk with all those holes in the road. The host did try to help but it was not a lot he could do.

Some family and friends of mined camped for 3 nights there. We loved it. There was 5 campers in our group. We would have loved to have sewage hook up but we understand the expense of this. One complaint I do have is the lack of lighting in the campground. Walking at night couldn't be done or walking to the bathhouse/restroom required a flashlight. we discussed this and how nice it would have been to have had more lighting.

the camp ground was beautiful. Grass cut and clean. I wish that you could reserve sites along the small lake waterfront instead of being FF. If you drive 4 1/2 hours to get there, you would be very disappointed not to be able to be on the lake. Needs camping / RV sites along the big lake. Grass around the small lake needs cutting . I would make it my go to place if I could reserve along the waterfront on the small lake.
