It would be great if there was sprinkling of the grass. It gets so dry and makes the campground look bad. Also i think charging $8.00 to reserve a spot is excessive and $10 to cancel a reservation is absurd!

Very nice CG with some good fishing, especially, if you have a boat. The CG host was extremely nice and an experienced CG host. He was a pleasure to speak with. Of course I'll be going back in the future. And, of course, I'll always have a problem with campers and generator noise but, that is just part of the experience I guess.
