This was our first time to go and we loved it. The bathrooms were very clean and the site was great. The only thing was, I wished our site had the grill insert to go over the fire like we saw at the other sites but it for sure wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

Staff at gate were great and the clean up crew was doing a very good job. We brought a concern to the host but I don't think he did anything with it. The concern was dumping black tank into a plastic storage tub and what might happen to it. There was no evidence left at the site so I guess the camper to care of it properly. Only thing to watch out for are some tight corners and the water pressure.
