We love this campground! Campsites are situated so that hook-up sides are together, so you can enjoy your picnic table - it isn't next to your neighbor's sewer dump! Great off-leash dog-walk area. Every amenity, spa, free breakfast each morning, nice lodge with fireplace. Free wifi. Big Rig Friendly. No pool. On-site garbage pick-up. This park would be perfect if it wasn't on the freeway. FMCA & Good Sam discounts.
