Great site. They have been cleaning it up. It could use a gazebo or other shade structure for picnic use.

It was a very good site with good bathrooms and dumpsters with plenty of seating and camping room. We couldn't figure out how to use the water well

Site was just ok. Overgrown thistle weeds. The picnic benches are very old and most of them are broken. Normal size picnic covers do not fit these picnic benches. The vault toilets are old very very old. Overall, the site could use an update. We did end up making the best of the time. Also there are not as many tent sites as you would think there would be.
