Wonderful campground. Camps spots are gravel or grass but extremely spacious. We rented spot 17, directly adjacent to the bathrooms which made it easier for my handicap mother. The views were wonderful! My complaints: 1. There isn't any posted quiet hours so we were kept awake after 10pm, 2 of 4 nights. 2. People were inconsiderate and had the brightest outdoor lights on all night. 3. There was no soap in the women's bathroom but there was bottle for it.
