Need to cut back bushes next to site 19, as it is very difficult to get a motorhome into that spot without branches scraping the side. Shorter vehicles would have no problems, but bushes are wider and stick out over paved area from 9-13 feet high.

The firewood for sale at resort store was overpriced and small pieces. Priced at $1 a piece. Basically had to drive to a Valley a City for firewood. Found a spot just outside of town, 15 pieces for $10. I miss the days when there was free wood onsite, you just had to cut it yourself. Other than that it’s a nice quiet campground. The sites are not right on top of each other. But wish the sites were closer to the lake, or at least a view of the lake from the sites.
