This campground was a disaster. It was oversold. The sites were tiny and ridiculously hard to get in and out of with the amount of vehicles that were parked all over the place. There was not enough parking throughout the weekend. The beach was incredibly crowded. The staff were unprepared and unable to handle The number of guests that were reserved over the weekend. On Saturday at the beach they blocked off the parking lot saying it was full very early in the morning. Since we were staying at the resort we were supposed to get free parking at the beach. However, on Saturday they had the parking lot closed off by 9am saying it was full. We had paddle boards, kayaks, umbrellas, ice chests, and more. So we needed to drive our truck into the beach lot to at least unload. While we were in line to get in we noticed they sold a parking permit and let a car in, so we thought oh great that means we will be able to get in and park. Nope! The guy tried to say it was full. We pointed out that he just sold a parking permit and let another car in. We said we at least needed to get in to drop off our beach supplies. He rolled his eyes and said, go ahead, but the parking lot is full. He said we could try to find a spot if we wanted. We got in, unloaded our stuff by the path to the beach, then looked for a spot. We found not only one, but many open spots. It definitely felt like they were saving spots to sell while telling those of us who we were supposed to have free parking with our campsite that it was full.
Then to make matters worse, on checkout day we had to wait 2 hours to leave because our trailer was blocked in by cars that were parked in no parking zones. Instead of handling it the staff gave us the number to a tow truck company. We ended up just waiting and checking out later than check out time.
Also note that you are really far from Stateline and there aren't really bike lanes to get there. We brought bikes, but weren't really able to use them.

It would be nice if this location posted warning about rodents. We had a deer mouse get into our trailer and didn’t notice until our next camping trip nearly 2 weeks later. Now my family and I have potentially been exposed to hantavirus or whatever else and we are extremely concerned.
