We love the place, but the cattle guard at the entrance is full and serves as no deterrent to the free ranging cattle. There are also weak sections of the fence. My family and I rebuilt a section last year when a large herd came in. This stay we woke up surrounded by cows the first morning. I herded them out before our campsite was covered in pies. Otherwise, we had a great stay.
