This is the 1st time we have stayed at this campground. It was very nice. We did have issues with the water because it leaked at the source and we ended up having to connect with our neighbor to be able to have water at our sight so we wouldn't have a muddy mess at our sight. Our neighbor was my brother-in-law and sister, so I don't know what we would have done if they hadn't been camping with us. We received and email prior to our stay saying the camp ground was closed and I called but no one would answer. I didn't know if just one of the 4 sights I had rented we closed or the entire camp ground. I called recreation.gov and they could not tell me what was going on either. I didn't want to drive 2 hours just to find out I didn't have a spot!! I called multiple times over several days and NO ONE EVERY answered the phone at the # provided for the camp ground. That was very frustrating and poor customer service. I finally got an email the day before we were supposed to leave to say the campground would be open and to disregard any previous message. Terry

Still would like to see a hiking trail added. The amount of cars going round and round and round was less, a big improvement. But one note: a fellow at one site (glad it wasn't near us) had six dogs on his site (3 small and 3 large). We were walking near by and stopped to talk to the fellow in the adjoining site and he mentioned that he was disappointed to be camping next to a "kennel"! Surely some kind of limit should be put on the number of dogs one site can have.

It is one of our favorite campgrounds. The host is great. One problem is people who believe that their dog(s) are so well trained that they can ignore the on-a-leash rule. This can be a problem when they are distracted and their dog (sometimes a big Rottweiler or Pit Bull) decides to take a run at our 11 lb dog and us as we walk around the cg. So far we have escaped, but once on this trip their dog nearly got to us before the owner managed to stop it. Frightening!

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. The cg host is great. One thing could make it better - hiking trails. The only real place to walk is the road through the cg. But there are a couple of problems: for some reason at this particular cg people drive around and around for no apparent purpose other than to drive through the cg (this would be fine except that they go round and round and round and you are constantly trying to find a place to get out of their way). The other problem which is not only a problem here but other cg s too. Big vicious dog breeds - Rottweilers, put bulls, etc that are not always on a leash. The owners believe they are so well trained that they let them loose at their site. They are threatening and could be dangerous. Some camp sites have as many as three of these dogs on one site!
