We were there on opening weekend of the 2022 camping season. There was no hand soap in any of the dispensers (men's or women's). Electrical outlet in women's restroom did not work. I would think that those things would be checked in preparation for the first camping weekend of the season.

Other than that, the park was veray pleasant and relaxing.
