First let me say that I would rate the camp 5 stars if our camp site/ parking area didn't turn into a mud bog on the second day of rain. The camp restroom and fire pit were perfectly functional for our needs, and the water wasn't too bad. I'd strongly recommend they take the time to haul in a few loads of gravel to redo some of their camping surfaces. Other than that, this campground is awesome and is surrounded with a whole bunch of awesome waterfall hikes.

This place is quiet and clean. The restrooms are clean and so is the camp.
Shower house would be nice. Some sites could use some gravel, but overall, with the fishing hunting hiking riding opportunities here it's a full win.

The fire rings need cleaning and also there are areas on the camp site that have holes needs leveling.

The campsite itself was great, but there isn't a camp host to enforce rules. We listened to multiple generators run all night long.

No wheel barrows for haul manure to the manure station. Some of the horse hi-tie areas hold water and become a muddy mess.
