We were in site 146 and we loved it. Very spacious, full hookup and close to level. We can’t wait to come back.

Campground was nice, however lacked little to no cell service and WiFi was very weak, not even existent at most sites. This made it impossible for me to be accessible to an elderly family member I care for in case of an emergency, so unfortunately I had to depart early. I understand the park cannot be responsible for cell phone coverage, however providing enough WiFi to just enable calls for circumstances like this would be appreciated.
