Nice Rustic Stay

Booked last minute here and enjoyed our stay. We had the property mostly to ourselves - there was probably around 5 other camps here. The grounds are well kept but the buildings are starting to look a little rundown. The restaurant/ cafe, stage, and cave were closed while we were there. There is a nice little fishing pond on the property. Our site had water but no sewage - the dump site was located a few hundred feet away at the bathroom. Roads are gravel and were pretty bumpy in some areas. I did not see any paved sites. I was told all electric is 30-amp. Overall, not bad for a last minute stay!
