Clean campsite, water, sewer, and electrical 30 amp plug-in worked fine. I could even get some local station off my RV antennae.

Got to campground and no signage to tell you where to go! No camp host or check-in point!! Our site was terrible as the picnic table was down hill in wooded area and was not well maintained! We tried looking at better site, but were told in the phone that we could not book separate site without cancelling original and being charged cancellation fee! We tried to back our 5th wheel into our original site, but it was so muddy across from the site we almost got our 3500 Ram stuck!!! Sites were not maintained in the front area, back area looked a little better, but it was muddy and water standing as well! I didn’t go into bathroom as we left and went to another campground!!

This was the better of the three campgrounds in the area. The bathrooms/showers were clean. The spot we stayed in was on the site as shaded. It was not shaded all day. Coverage was fair
