The host was friendly, the camp ground was clean but the parking space was very narrow and sloped and difficult to park our RV.

It was a nice campground. Only one sink works in the lower bathrooms.

The bathrooms were clean and the Campground was generally quite, and the camp host was nice. However, it was a bit close to the highway 4, and our campsite #18 was sloping, including the picnic table, and was a little too close to site #17. Would be great if both sites were reserved together. Site 19 and 20 were nicer individually.
