Campground host was very intrusive to us and other campers when setting up, taking down, preparing supper. The site should be cleaned before arrival. NOT after a person has arrived or been there for 5 days! Too bad. Kind of weirdish.

Clean well maintained site. Nice steps down to lake. Only negative was the grill grate wouldn’t swivel.

Horrible. I camp all the time. Unruly, boisterous late night trash talking guests, the host was a joke. Lived in wabeno, was never there. Saw him 2 times in 3 days. Dogs non stop barking.
