Campground clean with shower/bathrooms cleaned every day. My husband enjoyed kayaking while I relaxed reading a book.
Collinsville only about 20 minutes away, enjoyed antique shops & thrift shops. Very relaxing campground with grounds caretakers keeping everything looking nice.
Have been to Salthouse several times. Thanks

Bug spray for carpenter ants! Better control for all night loud drunks would be nice. Overall would recommend for a visit. Choose your site carefully. Some are very small. Roads are very narrow.
