Our campsite #11 was mostly bumpy dirt - no grass. It rained a lot Saturday night and our whole campsite was muddy and puddle filled. We had to listen to a guy until midnight who was outside watching a ballgame. We heard him yelling and using bad language when plays were happening. Shouldn't there be quiet hours starting at 10pm? We also had a truck pull up Saturday afternoon and 2 guys brought out a chainsaw to cut up a fallen tree right behind our lot. We were hoping to enjoy nature not hear people cheering a late night game outside or hear a chainsaw!!!!! Where were the camp rangers????

We camped Labor Day weekend and the campground was full. The grounds were mowed and clean. Everyone was friendly and enjoying biking and walking. We’ll go back soon.

Very nice campground, all campsites are nicely spaced apart. Restrooms very clean. Campground volunteer, Mary, was very friendly and shared some helpful information about the area.

Campsite #81 was extremely clean and nice. The playground and bathrooms were right next to the sight and was big plus for us. The only negative thing I can say is the bright white lights by the bathroom, it made our site feel like we were in the middle of the day at night.
