The camp hosts where not visible and their sites where junked up
The Sheriff who lived on site had a pop up and the site was junked up. The dumpsters had garbage on the ground, and it was never cleaned up.

This could be a very nice campground even without the water. The general maintenance of the campground is very lacking. Low spots that have developed over time allows water to stand when it rains. Roadway where it was cut out for improvements need repaired. Again, this could be a very nice campground if people who are in charge take pride in it.
