For a fairly large campground there was only one shower. After 3 attempts during the day, I finally got in and there was no hot water, disappointed. Also for a fairly large property there was NO laundry facilities. As well after being told the pool was heated. It was not heated.

Was very disappointed. We mainly had two issues. The water smelled really bad and no picnic table. When I asked about the water I was told to let the water run. It continued to smell off and on. We bought water to drink as I was not taking a chance. We were unable to get a picnic table. The campground was not full by any means. I was told that I could get one after five the next day. I stopped into the office after 5 pm the next day. The employee called the owner to see if I would be getting a table. I could hear the owner say to employee… is that the lady cranking about a table ! Then the employee said I may be able to get a table on Sunday. I guess asking about the water and wanting a picnic table when camping was too much. I thought the owner was rude and disrespectful. We had planned on having some family come over for dinner but we cancelled that. We camp lots but we will never go back.

Excellent place to spend the weekend, or summer, unless you're a smoker or toker. Midnight jokers are acceptable if you're quiet about it, lol
