It's a beautiful campground, but unfortunately it isn't very well maintained. And the bathrooms are substandard... One of the showers was missing shower head... There's only two showers in that building... The sites need maintenance... And unfortunately, there is a bunch of undesirables living in this campground.. The list of rules for these folks that is posted in the bathrooms is rather shoc... It's a beautiful campground, but unfortunately it isn't very well maintained. And the bathrooms are substandard...

And unfortunately, there is a bunch of undesirables living in this campground.. The list of rules for these folks that is posted in the bathrooms is rather shocking... Our first night there, we were approached by our neighbors after they returned to their site... It was 2 younger women. They were spooked because apparently someone had we messed with their campsite, we didn't see anyone... They ended up leaving and not staying... If you do camp there, don't leave any valuables in your camp. When you leave for the day.... It breaks my heart to have to say all this because it's such a lovely spot....

Beautiful campground! While I didn't witness the bathrooms based on others feedback, I am hopeful if we keep patronizing they will invest in improving the facilities.
