While checking in the lady we dealt with was absolutely wonderful so very kind. She set us up with the perfect camping spot, we had a great time in our new to us motorhome.

Nice, quiet, and we always love our neighbors! Not too close and not too far away! I just miss the natural milkweed areas that used to exist between our favorite campgrounds.

The campground is nice looking and has fill hookups including sewer, but I haven't found a level pad yet even though it has been recently refurbished. The first spot we tried we couldn't get out 25' trailer even close to level from to back. And those lights on the bathhouses! Whose idea was it to install such harsh lights that shine out instead of down and light up the entire campground? Sure ruined any chance of stargazing. All in all I would be looking for a more camper friendly campground.

We enjoyed our stay at this campsite. Very restful and quiet, except some nearby campers got a little loud and used offensive
language as the day progressed into the evening. I suppose they were drinking which, by itself, doesn't bother me. We chose a campsite near the playground because we had a 5 year old with us, but next time will chose one a little father away from the playground so we won't be so near to other campers. We were in site 91 which is on the inside of a loop so naturally the campers were closer together. It was our first time with our new camping trailer so we didn't really know what we were getting into. But all in all, the experience was a good one and we can't wait to go back!
