nice park, but the upper section has a lot of road noise. Hosts are super great.

Full hook ups are great, but road noise not so much. The park is always clean and the walking trails are second to none.

Really nice campground. The host did not provide a map, General location for dumpsters or where my campsite could be found and was also somewhat rude. This was a short encounter. Sandy beach was nice but extremely rude people- smoking right in front of our 1.5 year old and lighting cigarettes with the one currently in their mouth then simply letting the old lit cigarette float away in the lake right next to them. Gross and horrible to litter like that. Wish something could be done of people like that!
