Let me start by saying Thank you to our campground host, Tasha and Mike you see we were coming from out of state and when we got close to Rock Creek our tow vehicle started having mechanical issues we were able to limp on into campsite Tasha said she thought her husband could help so after his 8 hr. day job Mike came to site and helped diagnosis the problem and supply us with a wealth of information for our situation. not only that but the next morning before he went to his job he loaned us his personal tools so that I could go out and get parts and do the repair.
Amazing hospitality was shown to us total strangers from this young family you can only imagine how relieved we were so that we could now enjoy the rest of our trip. We enjoyed our large and level site with potable water close by and bathhouses were clean and well supplied as with any experience people are what make the difference Thanks again to our Host for the kindness that was shown to this Elderly couple.
we love this campground and will return.
