This CG is in need of serious maintenance. I booked site 15. When I arrived it had a big sink hole in the parking spot. There were loose dogs and a cat. Roads were terrible. Sites needed mowing. And one guest had to be banded.

Driveway into campground is very ruff with lots of holes. Most of the RV sites by water are slopping down hill. Garbage is by the entrance gate so you have to drive there or keep it all at your site. A few too many very late night loud partiers. Could use some upkeep by the RV sites very long grass.

Showed up as I was passing through the area, I reserved ahead of time. Stayed at site 03. The only trailers there looked like homeless people with rvs or maybe extended stays. They looked like they lived there full time. When I showed up nobody seemed to be there to take care of the facilities. The site I reserved had a bunch of trash and empty bottles of bud light that I decided to pick up…. I have a feeling if you just show up you can camp without anyone knowing….. the restrooms were cleanish even though all the stalls had no toilet paper except for 1.
I would not recommend. I should have been paid to clean the camp site up. Not worth the 22 I spent.
