Definitely time to remodel the main shower house. Really showing its age and is certainly a challenge to clean and sanitize. For the money you pay per night they can do better.

Beautiful campground, but comfort facilities leave something to be desired.
This is a popular campground for ATV folks because there are trails specifically for that purpose. Noisy!

Very nice and clean facility, all camp sites were clearly marked and low split rail fences lined all boundaries to keep motorcycles and equipment on the paved roads and camp driveway. The place filled up with others there to ride the Chadwick Trail system, so many bikes and a few quads too. Camp host was helpful and very easy to work with when our reserved site was too small, we easily moved over to a first come first serve site that was much larger and wider to accommodate our 25ft trailer and second vehicle.
