The campground host was very nice and extremely helpful in working out a glitch with a campsite reservation. We were able to work it out to everyone's satisfaction. Pit toilets were very clean.

We liked the seclusion of our campsite, which ended up being site 16, however the map that we booked our site on does not reflect the actual site location. it took about 30 minutes and switching sites with someone who thought that they booked two campsites together so that they could keep their group together to figure it out. the camp host seemed a bit confused but it ended up okay in the end! lack of water was a bummer but otherwise the site was beautiful.
