The campground was clean and really nice. Plenty of shade in several sites. Theres a playground and areas to fish and swim. The showerhouses need updated and cleaned. The showers smelled and had mildew and was extremely dirty and falling apart. The flooring was cracked and chipping. Besides the showerhouse, the campground was great and we would definitely come back!

There was no reason that the grass wasn’t mowed for opening weekend. The bathrooms were never cleaned and the sticks, branches and leaves that were piled up was ridiculous. There were 4 park rangers riding around in a truck all weekend that should have been doing something. They could have walked around the campground and talked to the people instead of just driving by wasting fuel. I know the place was full so you probably don’t care, but it has gone down hill since we started camping there in 2013.
