Just giving a shout out to the man (assuming owner/manager) who helped us air up a flat tire today! You have no idea how important your role was in getting my friend where he needed to be today. You made a challenging situation a bit better, and I’m unendingly grateful for your generosity.

This campground looks great on the website but it is aging and has decrepit infrastructure and facilities. We had stayed there a few years back when the new owners bought it and were supposedly fixing it up and making improvements. During that stay the water was shut off for half a day due to a leak. This past summer we decided to give it another try and stayed here twice over the summer on a cross country trip. Honestly didn't notice anything different in the way of improvements (see pictures). Upon arrival the first time there was no electricity at the post of the site we were assigned. Since it was after 5pm there was no staff on-site so we called the office and left a message. Also FB messaged and a staff member on call responded and had us move to another site. Mild inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless. Before returning the second time I called in advance and told the staff member we wanted to avoid any issues with our designated site. They said there were no issues with electricity at the site and assured me we wouldn't have a problem. Ha! Electricity worked upon arrival but at some point overnight it stopped. Woke up with no electricity and walked around trying to find someone and finally found a staff member tending to the decrepit pool who was able to turn it back on. Needless to say we won't book another stay here at this aging campground with poor customer service.
