The concrete pads are very nice. Plenty of room for a travel trailer and tow vehicle as well as a boat and second vehicle. The electric, water and sewer hookups were all well placed and worked as they should.

This was our first time at this campground. We loved the concrete pads and the people at the front office were very nice. We actually changed a reservation at another park to camp here again.
