Great campsite. Nice quiet campground. We are already looking forward to our next trip. The camp hosts were also great. They made their rounds everyday to ensure everything is good

Had great weather for the two week we stayed there and our site was great...BUT the Women's Shower Room was very very bad. The sign said that it was cleaned periodically....Not so...it hadn't been cleaned in weeks!!!! Mold growing up the walls, drains backed up, a hole the entire way around the shower valve so you could see into the next room, shower curtains with BLACK mold, globs of human hair in the corner of the shower. The water was always hot and I didn't see any bugs this is the only thing I can say on the good side. I'm physically handicapper but couldn't use the stall for that. The seat had so much black mold on it ....well I don't need o go on.
