The campsites were awesome, we enjoyed our stay overall. The only problem i can complain about is that it was almost 2 days into our week long stay before we were officially checked in, and we had to inquire about who to see and where to go, and that with our camp site reservation, came continued access to the boat launch area we had paid the $5 dollar day use fee, and when my wife went to the main building to officially check us in, they commented that they were short staffed, and didn't know that the volunteer camp host had left. Im sorry, but lack of planning on your part shouldn't constitute an added fee on my part. This situation says to me that the people the ac needs to get out and actually do what they are getting paid for.

We were in site 29. Nice shaded spot. Not a fan of the fire pits, they’re recessed down into the concrete pads. We had a huge fairly flat slab to park our class A RV on, but the ramp the driveway pretty steep.

The site we had was very steep and had a very hard time getting camper level from front to back. It was site circle 29 and the front tung of camper was on the ground and the back was so high had to have latter to get stuff off back of rack. I guess it was my fault for not looking closer when I booked it. But the picture didn’t show the slope. Other than that it was really a nice place to stay. The people that checked us in were great. The couple we were with had the same trouble. Maybe don’t let campers as long as ours book those sites.
