Not impressed/Sad VFW site

The VFW site is the only one we visited. We did not camp here and only went to check it out. So glad we did; rotting trash on the roadway and large green dumpster trash cans were on their side but a few were upright. Standard warning sign for bears but some sites were closed for renovation. All sites had over a foot-high weeds and one had a 20' metal culvert in it. Some shade for lakefront sites. No lake access except at boat ramps. The ramp area had a mercury warning for fish and recommended consumption for Walleye. This sealed the deal for a NO go! 062924
