Some sites are showing signs of wear and tear. Picnic tables are in disrepair. Sites need to be graded and re-leveled. The Corp has become very lax enforcing their own rules. Pets are off leash and not picked up after. Non registered vehicles are on the roads. Never saw a ranger.

Get the mountain bike trail cleared so people can use it. We try to come in Spring before the weeds take over. I would like to come more often to ride more. Thank you for keeping the grass mowed frequently this year. This hasn’t been so in the past.

This is our favorite place to camp! The grounds and campsites are so well maintained and the bathhouses are always clean. My only critique is the VERY limited Wi-Fi access. Everything is wonderful…especially the beautiful sunsets reflecting on the lake!
