Not bad but needs improvement

We went to get away from all the people with fireworks that scare our dogs. It is a pretty campground and the sites are a reasonable distance apart. However, there is no camp host or anyone to keep an eye on things. The bunch of 20-somethings at the group site near us took full advantage of that. They started blaring their music and hollering at 10 PM and there was no one keeping things in check. The night before I got there they kept my friends awake until 2 AM. Last night, the thunder storms sent them in their tents/trailers about 11 PM, thankfully. Facilities such as garbage bins and bathrooms are not well maintained.

Great hiking trail up to a "waterfall". Lots of opportunity for enjoying water sports. Very dog friendly which is greatly appreciated.

For $35 a night (which to me is expensive for camping), they should offer water available at the campground and better maintained facilities. Waterfront spots are even more expensive. It was worth going to once but I am not sure I'd go back.
