The campground primarily caters to seasonal long-term campers, with only a limited number of non-seasonal spots available. It is conveniently located near water and by our destination, making it suitable for my family's needs. However, the pricing seems high relative to the overall condition of the grounds. Additionally, many of the seasonal sites appear poorly maintained, which diminishes the campground's overall appeal.

Since we just came here for one night to rest , we didn’t make the full experience but I can say, that the lake close to the entrance looks beautiful in the morning or evening and the restrooms were clean. I was not happy with the trash on the sites we have seen there. I know it is the peoples behaviour but I made other experience on other campgrounds were the service teams put immense of effort to get the sites clean and get rid of plastic and other trash until new customers are coming.

Just make sure if you are coming from out of state to stay here that you aren’t relying on anyone for transportation or sight seeing especially if you are from out of state. And if you are here to work at the campground also have your set days and stick to it. If you want the best of both worlds meaning the camping experience but also be able to come and go as you please and also work be clear about the hours you can work and I can’t stress this enough, bring or rent transportation. Relying on the staff or management to bring you in to town or take you site seeing isn’t going to work out. One of the biggest things I think they need to change is having a shuttle van or a small bus and not using personal cars to take people to the store. It’s odd. I think that if anyone is coming here from out of state to work here but also enjoy there summer at this beautiful campground but they are on a budget and struggling to afford a rental especially not a days that the camp should have vehicles that those people should be able to use for a small fee. And make it easier for them to come and go ad they please.
