The camp spot was really nice. The campground staff were really friendly and the check-in and check-out process was really easy. Bring mosquito and tick spray for the summer months.

Beautiful, shaded, and spacious camp sites. The campground and building were very clean. My toddler loved the playground and easy access to the water.

The newly revamped loop with water and 50. Amp is nice (hard to get a spot) all that’s needed now is sewer hook ups

All electrical needs to be replaced with 50 amp and finish adding warmer to each site. Shower house shower area need an abrasive surface to keep you from falling.

The last night of our trip, my husband and I were in bed. Around 10:30 p.m., a camper pulls in to get situated. Out of the truck come several screaming children and a barking dog. No more peace. Then the parent used an impact wrench to stabilize the camper. My husband yelled at them that it was quiet hours, to no avail. Then my husband went to get the camp host. He was either not at home or chose to ignore the knocking. This went on for about an hour. These campers were about 60 yards from us. There were a lot of other campers closer to them than us. I thought quiet hours meant quiet time. Apparently, this meant nothing to them. I think the rules need to be changed prohibiting setting up camp later than 10:00 p.m.
I would appreciate some feedback on how this situation is handled and what could be done about it in the future.

We did not get to come camping. My knee was bothering me. I had a Drs appt the day after we were supposed to arrive. I cancelled 3 days before we were supposed to arrive. Now you will not refund my money essentially calling me a liar. I would like my $40 back asap.
