The park is well kept and the restrooms were very well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Pretty, but extremely tight quarters! Definitely have ZERO privacy. And the only thing I’ll complain about is the showers were usually gross. If you took a shower super early in the morning, they were clean, but they clearly need to clean them more than just the once per day, with all those people using the only three showers that were open for use.. Also, the staff person they are allowing to live down there, in his big fancy camper, located at the entrance of the campground, is not just rude, but also extremely nosey and unwelcoming. And you better remember cash and don’t be a single penny short! Dude is a stickler when it comes to money. Just kinda took away from our entire good camping vibe we had going, before encountering him the couple times we did.
This is a great campground! Unfortunately I was only able to stay one night. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and easily accessible. The campground host was very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here!
