I wish that the internet signal was stronger in this area. Our TV was stopping and starting. Gave up trying to watch.

Everything was clean. The 110 plug on the electrical box was not working. I had to use the neighbors other than that. Everything was great.

We always have a pretty good experience, BUT, this time there were some campers that had actual campers in the tent area, they were loud, rude and allowed their children to run amok throughout other peoples camping sites. I would suggest if you have people that have had complaints more than a few times, they should not be allowed to camp anymore. Campers down with tent campers should not be allowed either. The camping host did try everything they could, but we ended up having to call the rangers several times. I have been camping here for over 15 years, by far the worst time ever.
