Grateful for this simple, lovely campground that has been surprisingly quiet and decent. The surrounding trees are really lovely, often swaying gently in the wind, and several times we (mostly) heard Vs of sandhill passing nearby. That was the best part. The water is low right now and the boat ramp, if there is such a thing, is very mucky. I’d watch you don’t get stuck. The disappointing part about the park and the reason for less stars, is that the bathroom has not been Noticeably cleaned for the week we’ve been here. We checked in with a woman in the host spot when we first arrived and every day have seen a guy on a golf cart making a round of some sort. I’m not sure whether either of them is responsible for the cleaning, but we have seen the same unmentionable smears on the same toilets, the same crumpled leaves by other toilets, the same hair in the sink, the same TP remnants on the floor in the same spot. The bathhouses have warm water and showers, thankfully, but to take a shower in the winter in a big cold room with an overhead fun is pretty chilly. Better than no shower, Eventually. Grateful also for the dish washing room where people have left their unwanted books—I’ve plowed through several of them. Just fyi, if you’re counting on using your solar panels for all your needs during the winter months, the lovely surrounded trees provide only filtered sunlight. We struggled each day with getting enough charge on batteries so we could charge multiple devices. In the summer this won’t be an issue. There are bear-proof dumpsters and food storage boxes all around the camp. The spaces are natural (grass) and very in length and size. First come first serve, apparently. Pretty place we would return to, possibly when it’s a tad warmer.
