I enjoyed it. Till the kids with the double lot started screaming all the time for no reason, than those kids started going to campsite asking people how long they are staying ect. People were driving way to fast around the loops. Especially for having kids and people walking and riding bikes around the loop. Showers we're very Rusty and seems they need a very very good scrubbing. Bathrooms we're... I enjoyed it.
