Roads

The roads in the campground have no set direction as depending on which site you have you get directed the best direction to back in. Sounds great but by the time you add people parking on the sites it is a one lane road when your towing a unit. Definitely makes it tight. The best part is when you go to use the dump station it's actually set up so you have to pull into it like your coming into the campground. This means as you are preparing to leave you have to plan how you are getting to the dump station and hope you do not meet someone head on. This is the only downside of the campground.


Bathhouse

There are two bathhouses both are very typically for what you would see for a government run facility. They do have automatic toilets, sinks and soap dispensers.


Playground

There is a playground at the main park and I wish I had taken pictures as it is an awesome playground. Has three sections one for 6 and under, one for 12 and under and children with disabilities and one that had no age posted. Our 4.5 year old loved them and they definitely were impressive.


Fishing

There is a lake so there is fishing we personally didn't fish. The only downside is that you have to go get a wristband to be able to fish and only being there two nights with kids it was not worth it. From talking to those who were fishing the lake has some okay size bass and catfish you could try your hand at.


Pool

There is no pool at this location however at the main park there is a small splash pad. It just has the ground geysers but cans definitely entertain a younger child who likes water.


Sites

Sites the critical questions everyone always has. All the sites are different and can require a different angle to get into. Do note none of the sites are full hook-up. All sites are water and electric only. We had 32 & 33. Site 32 was a back in that you did have one tight squeeze between two trees then a really cool big open site. Site 33 was a pull in and right beside the bathhouse. Site was tighter and to keep from blocking the road while we unhooked where we ended parking we could not use our awning due to a tree being in the way. (Also note we had European hornets on our site that were territorial and attacked. Our 4.5 year old was hit and thankfully I had a med kit stocked for bee stings. Maintenance did come out and spray and leave a can with us but take caution.)




Extras

As far as extras this place is a young child's paradise. Head over to the main park and you have a barn, wildlife center, train, carousel, mini golf, paddle boats and gym mining. All of it is quite affordable. We did not do paddle boats or gem mining and for 4 adults and a toddler to do everything I spent $36 bucks. For a special treat look for their Cheerwine Slushy.





 

This place is definitely great for families. It is not expenexpensive and is a great way to spend a weekend wearing out the kids. It does get packed over at the park as the day goes on so plan accordingly. The only downside of the campground is the dump station set up.
