Had a great time, no cell service with Verizon which is great with us. Campsite was in good shape, bathrooms were clean. It is a very secluded campsite which we enjoy. Power and water hook ups worked great and the dump station was an easy in easy out operation.

our campsite was the only muddy one, it would have been nice to change it. Bathrooms/shower didn't have heat. Park and scenery were nice for a cool day.
