The water at the camp was so full of rust and dirt it was un-drinkable. The instructions for reservations using the app on the sign at the camp are too vague. It’s not clear which sites are open, it’s not clear that if you physically are in a campsite you can stay for the full time. It’s not clear you can only pay for one night at a time with the app. The QR code was only at one site, the other sites did not reference it. Signs did not say all campers must fill out a paper envelope and post the stub on their campsite. Generally just not clear what to do especially with the QR code payment system. And NO WATER.
