Nice place to stay

This campground is easy to get to from the interstate. The spaces are big enough that you are not on top of your neighbors, which is nice. This site is fully gravel, so that’s a bit of a turn off for us. The water pressure here is very weak, but there is a shower house that is kept fairly clean for you to use. We were able to connect to Starlink from our site.
