The place is nice overall but you can’t have campfires and everyone there has allot of money which no judgements but we paid allot of money for our spot and got kicked out because our dogs got out of our camper which is nobody’s fault. The dog pooped somewhere and I immediately cleaned it up. The owner did not give any warning whatsoever and was not very nice on the phone at all and called our deck that had just broken apart a disgrace. We were going to fix our deck. I’m very disappointed in the service and that you basically have to be high to do to camp there.

Trailers lined up side by side, 1 shower, no hot water, no fire pits, no picnic tables. This place is a dump.
