This was a nice campground with clean restrooms and a cool place to have drinks with good food though limited. The only things that weren't great was that there were prickly weeds/overgrowth around electric and sewer at my site. The 30amp also had a Missing Ground warning message on my Watchdog but luckily I had a 50 to 30 convertor. I reported to the front desk and never received confirmation it was fixed. The mini golf course was pretty unkept and sweeping/vacuuming would have made the $3 cost more reasonable.

We always have a lot of fun when we are there. I do see a decline in a lot of the buildings and such around the campground. Our picnic table needed because it was broken and the bathhouses need a little bit of work. Maybe just needs a little tlc before it gets in great need of repair. There was also someone (looked like they were living there) across from us. Their site and grass was very messy and there were a lot of propane tanks outside and also containers in the long grass by fire pit area and a lot of items under rv. Looked pretty messy. Looked to be a long term site for sure.
