Does the job (I hope) but would not stay here

A few friends and I planned to crash here back in 2018 for just one night since we were planning to visit the quarry for 2 days. As soon as we got there, it seemed poorly maintained and almost abandoned. We left right away after seeing what was left and decided that it was not safe especially when we were mostly all 18 year old girls. The quarry was pretty though! Please bring it back!

Horrible management.

Management not available and only very limited buisness hours. Manager does not look into issues jumps to conclusion. Over charge for what they offer. Play ground is in need of repair.
