Great place to walk your dogs and camp. They have electric but not water or sewer. They have a dump station and a place where the dump station is to fill your water. It's beautiful there and love the cement pool. The bath house at the pool really needs updated.

The campgrounds are extremely wellaintained as well as the trails. The bathhouse were in need of a deep cleaning. My wife and I bought bleach and cleaned the shower stalls and provided antibacterial soap in the sink areas.
