The rest rooms are showing the age. More attention to them is needed. All in All, the visit was great.
Coming from the water industry, the storage tank needs attention before leaks happen.

It was a beautiful week to just kickback and relax. My husband did some bass fishing along the creek. The dogs loved playing in the water.

The campground sites were great. I didn’t see a spot that I wouldn’t pick. It was very family oriented. We were there during the week so I don’t know how busy the weekends are. My only gripe was the shower stalls were in need of a good cleaning. The bathroom toilet areas were very clean, though.
