Below: Two views of the ADULT ONLY pool - there was also a family pool. Both pools close at 8 P.M. The two RV Gypsies did not use the pool, as usual, but Karen Duquette sometimes likes to photograph parts of the campground.

This was a nice enough campground and it had an adequate amount of 50-amp full hookups, and good water pressure. No cable TV, but some channels came in OK with antenna. Wi-Fi only available at the two lodges, not at sites. But the two RV Gypsies had their own Wi-Fi. Check-in and check-out time was noon, excluding major holiday weekends. Guests must pay a $5 fee. No personal mail accepted at office.
