We had a great time

Very nice and clean for a free campground, camp spots are spaced out nicely so that people are not stacked right on top of each other. We will be returning but next time we will be bringing our own water supply. The portable water on site has a yellow tint to it even after letting it run for a min or so. It was good enough for me and the dogs to drink but not for my wife. Also the site doesn’t have cell service but that didn’t bother me.
