Expensive and although slow, had to get up and get our own beers and own food. Still tipped because that's what I believe in, but could maybe care about pleasing your guests, especially new ones you'll want to make an impression on.

No reservations in the campground but most spots are yearly rentals it seems and any open spots have cars parked in them for days at a time from people holding spaces for friends. I watched this happen for a week and a half straight. Showers are all hot water and the bathrooms were out of toilet paper. People driving like jackasses. No ATVs allowed out here but there are tons of jacked up golf carts with 12 year old kids driving them around. Makes no sense. During the week is better weekends suck.

This is our first year to have an annual site, and we are absolutely 💯% happy. We've spent several weekends and weeks in prior years, and had a wonderful time.
