The site was covered with ants, they were everywhere and it was impossible to keep them out of the RV. There was trash and debris at our site and the on the beach area. We saw no sign of a camp host or that the campground was being maintained. The sites are tight and hard to maneuver and again not maintained. The bathrooms were disgusting and it appeared that someone had sprayed water in the womens to clean it? Not really sure if that was the case since nothing was picked up from the floor including rolls of toilet paper and trash. I would not recommend this park.

We stayed in site 4. The grass was overgrown across the site and 3’ weeds around picnic table and fire pit. There was also 4’x10’ mud ruts along the edge of our slab. We have a one year old who wants to spend all hours outside running around, and it was disheartening having to keep him right on the concrete due to unkept area. (There was a large Jon Deere across from us that has obviously not been touched in a couple weeks.) The women’s restroom was flooded when we arrived on Friday and looked like it had not been touched when we went back on Saturday. There was a permanent water stain on the outside on the restroom where it seemed like this has been an issue for a while. Gnats were also a HUGE issue at night. Even opening the door for a split second would let in 50-100. When we dropped off our trash on Sunday, the dumpster was full, and there were about 30 bags of trash piled on the outside.
We did like the location of the campground and the views of the water were nice. The sewer, water, and electricity were very nice to have and did not have any issues with them.

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
