Good place overall, but power was out at campsite and the grounds are starting to fall into disrepair.

The showers were unacceptable. Water spigots not working properly. Drainage is huge issue, Basically you are wading in 2-3 inches of water. Both toilets and showers in need of painting and general upkeep.
