Men’s bathroom inoperable, while had to use women’s bathroom that was very outdated. Only one bathroom/shower for the entire campground. Sites are poorly marked. If you think you have water access, you better bring a 150 ft hose, plus in most situations two or more sites share one faucet so if you’re not first there you get no water. Also at most sites you have to back up a hill to get to level ground. Looks like the Corps of Engineers has ignored needed improvements to this campground for over 30 years.
