Septic issues this year, I believe they have closed the rv side of things. It is a hopping place though

Easy enough RV park. Spots are nice and services work with supplies nearby. It's not a resort, but after a long day driving it's an easy stop for a night.

We booked for 3 nights staying in our RV (why ranked 3 stars for room). We had no idea that there were no hiking trails near by (1 star for location). The campground was nice and clean, conveniently located next to the 3 bears store in case you run out of things (3 stars for services). My recommendation for this place is if you passing through or if you have an additional vehicle to go out and do things. If you move your RV from the site you're at, your spot can be taken when you return. This is due to first come, first served policy.

Good overnight if it does not rain. The pull thru deluxe sites appear to be in a construction process however the layout is poor. Sewer is in the path where wheels travel and have no termination caps. The site is mostly dirt, roots and untrimmed bushes with deep ruts in progress. Expect mud bowls if it rains. New employee, Sherri, assigned to organize the park was injured in an accident and nothing but chaos remains. Good thing we arrived early. The gas station (3 bears) and store were nice. We had FHU so did not use park facilities.
