We ended up there during an unfortunate weekend with a bunch of snow and rain. If they were looking for some suggestions, I'd say try to level out some areas and improve drainage. Most of the sites had standing water in the gravel and outside of the gravel quickly because a mud pit. With that being said, if you go there during nice weather I'm sure it's great
