The campsite worked really well for our church cookout! It had tables for us to use, and the scenery was beautiful!

This was a beautiful location and felt private from the other picnic spots.

The spot are not marked. So a hugw family was in the spot we paid for and argued with us about it. We ended up leaving no holaday picknick for us.. every other spot filled that why we paid so much to reserve our spot with no avail. They really need to mark the sports and make sure the people who paid get them and not run off by a holes.
