Very nice campground, spots are big and not too close to each other. Water electric only , but there is a damp station available. Verizon and T Mobile service is good. There are two bathhouses with showers and restrooms. This is our second time here and we will come back.

The environment in the park is great, the water is bad, smells like a rusty bucket of old water, a lot of iron in the water. Some branches scrape the top of your RV if over 11 feet tall. Overall well kept and roomy sites. No sewer either on each site.
