3 stars falls short of many other reviews. The reason I'm so harsh is simple, pad slopes. They have made a campground on hills so to make a level(ish) camping pad they have dumped truck loads of gravel. To get one side level with the other there is a four foot drop. To walk from our camper to picnic table or fire pit we have to traverse a ball bearing steep slope. The gravel has quarter size round rocks and it is dangerous. I feel that way and 2 other campers (only 3 of us at this campground) feel the same way.

Having said that, grounds are clean. Bathrooms are clean. There are no garbage bins anywhere in the campgrounds itself. Possibly some bins at the entrance/exit. 50, 30 amp and 110 service, EMS system shows no errors. There is water but no way to connect a hose with a filter. You have to place a container under the spout and push and hold a button to discharge water...PAIN! Lots of room for kids to run and play at the playgrounds. Lake is nice and access very reasonable. We've seen deer tracks but no deer yet. Turkeys are very abundant. Paved road to campgrounds and paved roads inside campgrounds as well. Many mature trees that provide very nice shade. Large sturdy aluminum picnic tables. Oh, also campsites are nicely distanced from one another. Not many mercury lights so night time is dark around campground, stars are bright and amazing. Dump stations at entrance/exit of park.
