Cons: * The restrooms are dismal given the locale of the campground. * The signs in a few of the campsites were inconsistent. * The lack of a wash place would have been nice.
Tent camping only. We wanted to be able to sleep in our bed in the bed we built in our minivan, but vehicle camping is prohibited.
Beautiful. Liked it very much.
