(Update), turns out they aren't actually closing down they sold it but they are still open and doing business as usual until further notice. Unfortunately they are about to close down for good I'm not sure why I've been there a few times. We ordered hotdogs. Their hotdogs were really good. I haven't tried any of their other food but they had a lot of different things.

Quiet, easy, no frills camp. On-site Laundry, bath and shower house. Full hook up camper sites, primitive tent sites. On-site camp store and close to major stores.

I'm fairly new to RV sites. This location was very nice and simple. Office staff is very nice and helpful. Only downfall is the drainage after it rains. Several sites, including mine, have several inch deep water pooling in between sites making it not fun to get in or out of your trailer or RV. I would still gladly come back for a stay.
