{"text"=>"Nice campground with different spaces, some of which are along a stream. You would have to bushwack your way to the streams though. Bring your own water or a good filter. The well water in the campground is consistently brown. The hosts stated it is safe for drinking. The host said the forest ranger tests the water monthly for quality and deems it safe for drinking. Aside from the well water, the campsites are good sized and somewhat private.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
