I stayed there for 9 nights. I had a pull thru site which made for easy in and out but some of the back in sites did look rather tight. I loved the canopy of tall trees all thru the park and even though I read some complaints from others about mosquitos I personally had no problems at all even when I would sit outside for an hour. The bathhouse was mediocre at best and the showers should be torn down and rebuilt. The sites were all dirt and probably should be gravel at least. With a little modernization it would be a great campground. I enjoyed my stay and would go there again.

can you bring firewood with you

Kirk Lacock | Feb 22, 2022
