Tight spaces, hopefully your neighbors are friendly. I will try somewhere else next time.

Everything was good accept for the non stop barking dogs. That needs to be addressed because even people just enjoying the lake down there gets disrupted by that. And I love dogs!

Camp Host is wasting space for someone who could be more helpful and understanding of what and why people go camping. Allows ‘buddies’ to play loud music whenever they want, ruining the peaceful environment.

They need to make camp spot big for camper to greet in out easier.

The sites are pretty small and close together, not a lot of space for a tent. I'm glad I purchased 2 spaces next to each other. 2 tents would have never fit into one space, even with 1 tent it was too close to the fire pit for safety. Our picnic table was practically touching the neighbors tent. Without having the 2 spaces it wouldn't have been enough space for a family. Odd piles of rocks randomly. They kind of need an overhaul and maybe somehow separate the spots so people stay within their own space
