The camp hostess is very helpful and overall the facilities are ok but the bathrooms could be larger
The trees need to be looked at closely since branches continue to break off making some sites a little dangerous

Campground is clean. Site 12 has plenty of shade and close to shower and bathroom, kind of important with a trailer that isn't self contained. Plesent staff and wonderful walking or biking trails. Will visit again and recommend.

We had a good time here the only problem was no fault of the campground. It rained most of the time we were there and our rig sprung a leak. Still let the kids play at the playground in the pouring rain and they had a blast. We will definitely be back!
