We fully enjoyed our stay. The camp ground was very nice and it was quiet . We did, however get locked out of the campground. We went to go visit family and got back at 10:30. I know it says they close the gates at 10:00, but most campgrounds we have been to have gate codes to get in and out. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

DHCC is always a nice visit. the campground is clean and quiet, and the staff is very friendly. most sites have plenty of shade, and are level concrete. it is also very affordable!!
i stay a couple of times each year to visit family/friends.
i do wish there were more full hookup sites.

Not a bad campsite there! Most of them were shady. We were on site #10. We liked that it’s flat and riding our bikes was easy. It was quiet and peaceful. Nice campground and the hosts were helpful and friendly. We would camp there again!
