The sight was clean and spacious. Camped with a 98 Winnebago at 34' still had space for a spare vehicle . Fire ring in great condition . Bathrooms were ALWAYS clean and sanitary . Plenty of trails and fishing . The camp hosts were very pleasant and kind . Only downside was the road noise over the weekend. The swimming was great for the kiddos and myself. All In all my family and I will be back come fall !
