Spacious, green, quiet. Just not level

This was a restful stop. Sites had plenty of space between and it was very quiet. There’s a nice long sidewalk for an evening stroll. The lake was drained but the views were still nice. For $25, you can’t beat that!

Plan on using your leveling blocks. The wifi is just there to tease you—no internet.
