I'm enjoying my stay here. Only bad thing was I forgot my bag with my hygiene products in the shower area. When I went back they were gone. My fault but other then that it's a nice place.

Very convenient place to camp. We pulled in with a large bus and trailer and were able to easily get 50 amp service and water. Bath house and showers were clean, and the dump station was nice. Super easy access and quiet location.
