Site 125. Fire ring for site126 is too close to Site 125. Fire would damage RV on site 125. NEEDS to be moved to a different location. We have a fifth-wheel. Many dead limbs in tree on site 125 next to road.
Had a strong storm and luckily only smaller limbs fell. Water stood in back corner of site for two days after storms.
DANGER TO USER PROPERTY. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
