Grass was over grown in areas near the swimming area. It looked as if it was in poor care.

Older campground but clean. Didn’t get a chance to check out the bathroom or shower. Misunderstanding about our reserved spot (previous campers said they paid for the weekend or something) but was immediately upgraded to a better spot. Swimming area nice. Thirty minutes from home so great quick weekend get away. Definitely returning.

The park needs an overall cleanup and upgrade. The pull through site we were at needed the wooden ground dividers replaced and there was a broken down old bbq pit that should have been disposed of (*a newer one had been installed)
On the positive side, the park hosts and staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

Only suggestion was grass going down to the lake where the boats were parked was too high and needed mowing. The people at the front gate were AMAZING and very friendly!
