We always have a wonderful time at this camp ground! Bathrooms weren’t cleaned as consistently or stocked as consistently as they usually are during our recent visit, but they were half way through our stay. No firewood for sale from the host which is an inconvenience and local firewood was $9-12/bundle or you can forage for your own but bring a good axe and a strong arm. Camp site was wonderful for weekdays and really busy and loud on the weekend, so choose your experience. Fishing is great right now!
