The bathrooms were very dirty and without toilet paper in several restrooms.

I have been coming to this campground since the mid 80's, although it has been since 05 since the last time. I have always loved camping here, and my most recent experience was pretty good, but it wasn't perfect. First off the mosquitos were terrible. They were always a nuisance, but they are downright vicious this year. That's not the fault of the campground, but just a warning to come prepared. The biggest issue was the fact that toilets were filthy and the one closest to our campground ran out of TP in both the men's and women's toilets, and the other ones were extremely low. Luckily I had my trailer, but I feel bad for anyone wanting to tent camp thinking there will be stocked facilities to use.
