Had a wonderful 4 night stay at CG. This place is manicured beautifully. Hot showers, clean restrooms, great people. It’s obvious they have great workers and volunteers that take care of this property. High five to all! Definitely will be back.

The sites were good sized, and not to close to eachother. There is no water hook ups in the sites, but they have 15 amp, 30 amp, and 50 amp electrical hook ups. There are multiple bathhouse but only one shower house. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The shower is free, but it is just a push button. There is no temperature controls for the showers. I did have to push the button a few times bef... The sites were good sized, and not to close to eachother.

Very nice for RVs. We were the only tent campers when we were there. Bathrooms good and nice to walk near the large lake. Some raccoons came around, but showed away easily.

Location 11 was a weed patch on a decline. Then about 4 inches of rain in two hours washed out many campsites. I would be much happier with a concrete pad.. it was a tough one but I'm just learning.
