First when arriving found that lot 39-D was not accommodating for my camper & truck. With the camper in front there was not enough room to unhook. Then no water. Since I couldn’t unhook and there was no phone signal I had to get a friend to take me to office. That took hours to get help. After a few days I had to move to D-41. That resulted in me falling off my truck and going to the ER with numerous broken bones. I tried to contact to cancel reservation to no avail as I’m hurt.

Noisy battery operated ATV’s making loops by our site drove us crazy. No peace in the forest.
Angry camp host complaining loudly was not a good experience either.
