We love going to this campground and the host is great. My only complaint is that they charge more or sites on the lake side but site 5 is the only one with boat access. If im being charged extra for a site on the water I would like to atleast have access to it where we can park the boat in the water.

We have been camping here for 35 years now, but as we are growing older my wife and I both have a hard time getting in and out of our boat at the dock. You have put a nice hand rail in one corner of the dock this year, however it's on the side of the dock that is only a few inches deep! we can't get the boat close enough to even use it, as like others there too. would it be possible to just move it to the other side where the water is deep enough to come up to it without running a ground in the shallow water?

Bathrooms not being cleaned daily. There is a fox infestation at that camp ground they roam around the campsites every night and are not afraid of people this could become a big problem. We did have a good time otherwise.
