The entire camp site was nice. Well maintained and clean. Nice trail just to the north of the site that has a nice view of the lake.

Very quiet campground. The lake is great for fishing and swimming. There are modern restrooms with lights and running water. Camp host is friendly and helpful with knowledge of the local area.

Keep Jim on staff, at all times.
Put him on the salary, he's worth it.

Pay Jim to stay there permanently!
Keep Jim full-time, and pay him good.
He really helps make the trip great and enjoyable.
Need more signs stating quiet times and dogs on leashes throughout park, not just at the entrance or camp host areas, some people really don't get it unless right in front of them.
