My husband and I have been to over 50 campgrounds in 9 different states and have never seen such behavior. The adults would get progressively louder as the day went on and by night time would literally shout, scream, yell, and honk their horns to loud music and sing at the top of their lungs. The kids were running through everyone's campsites with no regard to camping etiquette. These were even being thrown into the bathrooms while people were showering. Firecrackers and smoke bombs going off all day and night. Multiple children completely unsupervised as their parents sat around and drank from sun up to sun down. There was a large group of people there just reeking havoc on the entire campground and making the whole experience awful for the rest of us trying to enjoy ourselves. We left a night early because of the poor way the campground is being policed. Just returned home from 3 nights of camping here.

So we headed to our site, still no dump station. ![]() I asked why the sawhorses couldn't be moved down by the main road and sign covered until the area was open so that others didnt have the same issue. The dump station i was looking for was further on way to our electric campsite. After calling the office she told me the maps were free and in the lobby and that the area I went to was closed for another couple of weeks. After diving up in the middle of nowhere we came upon a dump station with sawhorses across the entrance saying closed. While on our way to campsite saw a sign saying dump station and pointing up the hill to our right. I asked about a dump station and was told it was on the hill while on our way to the campsite we had. ![]() After doing all the pre-trip online still had to pull into small parking lot at office to sign in.
