Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
January 29 closing early by Chuck
park review stars; one to five this park used to be open until the end of September..Now closes early in September. Many fall campers would still like to camp later in September. what needs to be done to keep this campground open?
August 5 No Cell Service by Bittner202
park review stars; one to five Wanted to stay here, but absolutely no cell phone service (not even Canadian companies), only for those who want to completely escape the modern world.
August 6 Nice clean place by Christy
park review stars; one to five Other then a pesky racoon that tore a nice size hole in my camp kitchen canvas bag, and the freezing cold shower every morning because there was no hot water in the shower in the upper loop due to some issues they were having with the pump house ( thats what we were told ) it was an all around nice place to stay.
