The bad: The driveway around the campground can get narrow, especially for longer trailers, and I was concerned about blowing a tire on the 12inch high pegs that force you to stay on the paved driveway. The staff are not doing a good job trimming back the trees, as my trailer got scuffed by a few of them. Also, the ashes in the firepit are not being removed frequently enough. Our firepit was over half full. Vault toilets are always a negative, I believe either Grass Hopper or Grizzly has flush toilets. If bears frequent the area, why not provide bear boxes if you're a tent camper? While you do have a cell signal, the speed can be slow. The lake level is low, so expect at least a 1 mile hike down to the lake. It's much more convenient to drive down to the lake from one of the boat launches.
Conclusion: My wife and I had a relaxing, refreshing time at this campground, and we will go back again. We hope this campground does not continue to be neglected.
