Good base camp -not much more

For us, the campground served its purpose. It’s in a great location, is fairly quiet, has electrical hook ups, has water hook ups (non potable only), has a basic dump site, and has a dumpster! I think it was $55 a night, which is pretty steep for how close together the sites are. Everyone who is staying here is very kind. There are some long-term folks who are doing work here, but they’re very nice. The sites are basically all just in a large dirt lot, no privacy. I would not recommend it if you’re looking for a solitary camping experience or want to be in nature, but if it’s just a base camp to do activities or work during the day, then it works great. There are a ton of biting flies, which has not been great probably due to the fishing ponds.?
