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.

I had booked 3 nights but left after first night because of smoke and ash from Yosemite area fire made breathing tough! Unfortunately there was no way to get a refund for nights 2 & 3!! You need to fix that!!

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.

The campsite was large and had some nice shade. The bathrooms were always very clean.
