This is a poorly laid out campground. It has 2 sections but no signs as to what direction you need to go for your site #. If you miss the lower section you have go through the campground, turn around and come back to a very tight turn into the lower section or go down the road to private property and turn around. When leaving you face the same dilemma as you can't get to the dump station without one of the two options. The campground host was no help explaining how you are expected to turn around. A fire ban was in place so I asked about using a propane fire pit, she had no idea on that either.

First off, booking was extremely difficult. The website was NOT user friendly. Upon arriving at the campground we found that the map was off. We thought sites 7&5 were near the showers but we were very wrong. It was a good hike. The camp ground itâs self was clean and nice but obviously not designed by a camper.
We were in the âlower sectionâ and if you missed the turn coming in (which we did bc the map was incorrect) you were just screwed bc you could not make the turn back into that section unless you made a 3 mile drive to find somewhere to turn around. When we got in the park and found ourselves lost there was NO ONE in site to help or ask questions! Stressed was an understatement.
We called the number listed for the park the day before arriving a number of times but it just went to a voice mail. There were âdirectionsâ to the park but not a physical address for a GPS even though a longitude and latitude coordinates was given to those who knew how to use that feature that was a little used to us. A simple address would have been really helpful or a returned call which we never got. Much less a number that was actually answered for all those lost campers like us that needed help but couldn't find it when we arrived. That made arriving stressful bc we searched the address using google and hoped that we were right.
Then as we were leaving we had to pull out of the park then back all the way back just so we could empty our tanks.
It was listed that golf carts and off road vehicles were not allowed however someone brought a razor UTV and rode around which made it somewhat unpleasant and they were seemingly never addressed.
Over all the arriving and leaving was the worse part. We did enjoy our stay while we were there but I do hope these concerns/comments will lead to some improvements. Especially having someone to simply answer the phones.
