We had a very good camp this past time (11 - 15 Jul 22/site 111). I want to commend the camp host, they did a very good job, even stopped by and cleaned our firepit. We had no rain during our camp, but the mosquito's were quite bad, wished they would have sprayed in the beginning of the week. We used up three cans of spray. The team did come by and spray Friday while we were packing up to depart. Other than that the campground is very well kept and all the staff we had contact with were very professional and courteous. We will be back, really like the area. Thank you for taking care of this campground, it is great. LEE AND MARLENE SCHOFFSTALL

Mosquitos were terrible making the walking path next to the river unusable. The main road between the loops was pretty bad too.
