Great campground!

   So, 20 years ago in 2001 we stayed here on our back home from Yellowstone. It was a dismal place. The guy who ran the place was a jerk. There was a terrible odor all through the campground, which turned out to be dozens of dead fish in their retention pond. We vowed never to go back.

    While planning our latest trip I decided to stop here. 20 years makes a world of difference! This place is great! Clean bathrooms/showers with NO CODE! Friendly service. The sites are upgraded& nicely graveled. The pond was dead fish free.

 Not crazy about buddy sites, but I guess you can stuff more people in the row that way. Request another row.

    If I had one complaint- there's no shower/bathroom at the end of the rows. You have to walk all the back to the end to shower. We were in site 52. My mobility challenged husband caught a ride to & from with the guy on the golf cart (thanks!). Many KOAs have a small toilet/shower combo when the main building is far away. Might be something to consider.
