The bathroom just inside of the gate women's side no water in the sink no hot water in the shower. The shower house closer to the water had nice hot water and pressure but handicap one was broken. Has been that way for some time.

Camp host was no help at all for anything. Wasn’t told about boil order that was in effect, drank the water for the first 24 hours we were there. Glad it wasn’t serious! Only seen a park ranger one time the first day we were there, ( out of 5)needed more patrol for the fast drivers thru the park…there were children riding bikes and it was terrifying to watch…the camp host drove faster than anyone on the once a day drive thru check. So much for quiet time and it wasn’t kids…noise until 2:00 am. Last but not least our camp site was terrible, trash left in fire pit, no grass just roots and rocks and just enough room to walk out our door on asphalt then big drop off. I have camped here all my adult life and this was the worst. The good thing was the restroom and showers were clean.

This is another wonderful COE campground. Our site (B04) was very nice and spacious. We were there during the week and it was nice and quiet and not crowded at all. We left on a Friday and it appeared that the campground was filling up so it might be crowded on the weekends. We will definitely be staying here again in future travels!

Very nice park . Camp host is wonderful. She was so helpful. Beware that site B32 says it is for a camper but it Very hard to back into. Our camper is 28ft and it took about 20 minutes to get it backed in. This was our first time so I booked site unseen. We enjoyed our stay Very much.
