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.

Campground is wide open with no one at gate . People just drive thru campground any time they want to . This makes it not a safe place for children .
The campground host in our loop was around picking up litter and was very nice.
