Electricity poles were intermittently working we had to move twice. Our first site 18 power poles quit working so they moved us to site 1, then site 1 also started having power issues of intermittently working. They had 18 repaired so we moved back to 18. A hassel moving back and forth. Everything else was ok. Bathrooms and showers could use updating.

Our site was clean and ready for our use. Internet and phone service was available.
Roads could use improvement, but basically the same for the last 10 years or so. Park hosts are friendly and are helpful above and beyond when needed.

GO ELSEWHERE! This park is not well maintained. The blacktop pad was in horrible shape. If you walked outside your camper, you better watch where you step or you'll be stumbling. The picnic table was full of something sticky that had been spilled. It was also covered in chalk "artwork". The women's bathroom... yuck!!! 3 toilets. One was full of toilet paper and S**T, it was obvious by the toilet paper on the floor that it had overflowed. It was like this for 2 days. The shower......... no shower head in one shower, turn it on the water ran down the wall. The 2nd shower had a soda bottle with the bottom cut out, taped to where the shower head should have been. The woman that comes around to check you in was obviously on a power trip. Check in was fine. She said she locks the entry gate at 10pm and doesn't unlock it until 10AM! Other COE parks also locked the gate at 10pm, but they were unlocked by 7AM.. Several sites were obviously seasonal sites and not well kept. I warned you... :-) I wish i had taken photos...

Tuve una experiencia maravillosa en este camping. El lago es simplemente hermoso y estaba súper limpio, lo que hizo que todo fuera aún más agradable. Pasamos un tiempo increíble en familia, disfrutando de la tranquilidad y la naturaleza.
La ubicación es excelente y nos sentimos seguros en todo momento, lo cual es muy importante cuando vas con seres queridos. Las áreas estaban bien cuidadas y limpias, y algo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue la amabilidad de las personas en el lugar.
Definitivamente es un sitio al que volvería y que recomiendo para quienes quieran relajarse y compartir momentos especiales en familia.
