The campground is beautiful but it is very small sites. There are only a few sites that a Motorhome can fit in. Our site was suppose to be waterfront but was partial water view with a camper right in front of us. Our campsite was a shared site meaning you on one end another camper on the other end. ****No WiFi or Cell service ****
