The campground is very well kept with a shower house located on each loop. Our site was mostly level with a gravel pad. You will have to watch the trees at the back of the site if you have a longer rig. We fit but were very close to the branches. Cell phone service was very weak but could manage a call and pulled some internet although very slow. I will say that the mosquitos were very bad during our visit. I don’t know if this is the norm for this campground but it was almost impossible to sit at a campfire after dark before getting run inside. There are lots of things to do nearby if you like to see the sites and plenty to do at the campground if you just want to get out to nature and relax.
