We have been camping here for a very long time. Love the area but sure wish they would improve their bathroom/shower house. The same bathroom stall has been out of order for at least 2+ years. With no camp host, campers are already driving their side by sides over the grassy areas. (the previous camp host kept drivers off of the grass to keep it nice). With that having been said, there's not a more beautiful place.

The grass needs to be mowed, and the shower house needs some repairs.
