disappointing

It was disappointing to learn that some visitors left behind piles of trash even though trash bins were available. Always keep the environment beautiful like geometry dash world game. I want you to know this game more.

Pretty Stay

Gorgeous setting, but very crowded. People pull up for the day with no qualms about being in your campsite. It’s noisy. The staff is very kind. Upon leaving we could not believe the piles of garbage left….and there are plenty of dumpsters! Definitely worth visiting, though.
