There was a water outage but we were refunded for those days. It was a very nice quiet campground. Itβs good to be there on an off week.

My husband grew up camping at this camp ground. 40 years later we still love it here. Clean, tidy and quiet.

Went to office during office hours twice and no one was in office. Tried to call during office hours and no one answered. Very disappointed in camp host. Also the walkway at dock needed moved several times. It was hard to back a trailer in without getting off the pavement. Also the lawn service ran over my satellite cord. Offered to pay for it, thought we could spice it but no luck. Also bathroom doors didn't close properly, only 2 of the 4 was readily useable.
