Stayed in site #80 across from bathroom/shower house. This building needs to be leveled and rebuilt. It is old, tired, worn out and foundation of building is crumbling.
Not sure how that shower house meets public health standards.
In a word, gross.

The campground was clean. The roads, however, were in terrible shape! They had speed bumps throughout which were totally unnecessary as the roads themselves were so bumpy that one would NEVER need a speed bump! The best spots in our loop were the non electric sites. They were straight, even and easy to get in and out of. The electric sites were short and very uneven. We did not use the restrooms so I have no comment on that. The dump was easy to use and we appreciated the trash container there to deposit our gloves when we were finished. We camped in a 35 foot fifth wheel on a Wednesday and Thursday in June 2020.
