Very nice campground. Paved through completely making it easier for our old camper. Restrooms are relatively clean thanks to the hosts and the frequent use. Campsites are clean and pads reasonably level.

Made reservations based on information listed for site that Sade it could accommodate a 35 ft rv. Arrived at campground and found site to be about 15 ft long. We could not fit and had to go find other accommodations at a private rv park and were out our $85.00.
