Campground had nice wide spaces but the roads were rough and need of repairs. Camp hosts were super nice and checked on us frequently when we had a flat tire on our 42’ RV on a Sunday! It took 5 hours but we finally got on the road. Will come back again

The water in the showers was warm when it was over 100 degrees outside. I remember last year it being slight cool which felt great at the end of day, being warm water just made me feel gross and made the bathroom too hot by the time I finished my shower. Really wish there were at least tent campsites closer to the water. Otherwise, it was a great time.

Facility is sufficient and has showers. It is quite popular so it is loud and also super hot which isn’t great for tent campers. The bathroom floors are almost always wet, gritty, and muddy

Some sites have quite a slope - bring plenty of blocks to level an RV.
