First the toilets needs pumped they have been need it for about 9 months, second I go camping there probably 10 or 12 times yearly .we take horses because it's a horse camp,in the last few years a lot of river rats or bicyclest get the site, I think the river rats and bicyclest and the regular camper should go to oconee state park or cherry hill camp ground. With that said I love camping there.

The grass had not been cut in the campground. One of the toilets was locked due to being full. One or two trees had trails blocked with no warning. We rode in quite a ways and had to turn around.
