Great facilities. Incredibly clean, like amazingly clean. The camp host was great, except the fact that he had a blue lives matter sign on his RV, which immediately made me feel terrified for my life.

Didn’t realize this site was at a slant to the table and to much soft dirt not much pine needles.
