The field and Out House were very clean. The well pump worked. The weather was perfect. The new bridge was a great improvement.

Been coming here for more than 40 years. They finally got the water working in the winter. Moved the solar panel actually to be in the sun! Only froze on two days below 10 degrees! We thawed with a propane torch and made it work. The company that maintains needs a little more prodding to keep the bathrooms up. We had a large group and ran out of toilet paper. Ashes were not emptied in the fire pit either. But the place is beautiful as always.

Everything was great. The field was clean and recently mowed. The out houses were clean. The only negative was that the well pump was not working. Bring extra water.

As usual the water did not work when we arrived. We have camped here for 45+ years. We also did not get a gate code until 6:00 PM on arrival day! But later that day someone did come and put a new lock and fixed the water. So that was good.
