Did some tent camping, and had a great time! Campground was clean, quiet, and other campers dimmed lights, fairly early in the evenings. Thank you, and I look forward to my next stay!

While partially my fault, as we arrived late, the markings are terrible. We had spot 60. We missed the turn to go to that section of the campground. The following day we realized we missed it because the is NO guiding you to that section. The markings on the spots are so warn, they could not be read. Even with a flashlight right on the number it was unreadable. Typical, campgrounds are 1 way traffic. The spots here are not uniform and people were going both directions on a very narrow road. They also only have 30 amp service. Fortunately, the camp hosts had an adapter so we could plug in.
