Everything was clean and neat. The only thing was the camper site we stay in was very close to other camp sites.
But we did see other sites that where not so close, so when we come back maybe we can get one of those sites.

Stayed at site 40 for two nights. Nice level paved site with long back-in. Does sit fairly close to site 39. Bathroom is very clean. Did not use shower, but appears to be spacious and clean. Good access to lake.
