Comments:
Went with a group for a week for our Eastern US Rally. Very very busy campground with only 28 transient sites and I expect that they will become seasonal sites, the sites were metered. Site was filthy with bits of paper, bottle tops, plastic and ties.

I only saw them cleaning the restrooms one time in the Saturday to Saturday I was there, then that was with water and a broom, no sanitizers. The showers were mildewy and the water was tied in so that it could run, the showers were luke warm after about 20 minutes of running them. It took that long just to get the water warm enough to shower in. Most of the time I showered in my trailer's wetbath (tiny).

had to buy an extension of 30 amp cord because of the distance to the box, and an extension of drinkable hose, for the same reason.

To their credit, they have a nice swimming lake with a life guard, a pool, game room and a resturaunt for breakfast, lunch and dinner are sandwiches and salads, and they have both frozen custard and Breyers hard ice cream. Sites were of a decent size and there were lots of trees.

My site was huge side to side one of the gals was on a 20 amp site and melted her adapter, they let her move onto my site with me, and the couple beside of me let her hook up onto their water and use the 50 amp service (she had an adapter), we thought they might re-rent her 20 amp site, but they did not.

The owner moved a brand new huge trailer one of our group just bought, a truck driver camping across the way got it into the site, the campground owner got it out, towed it to the onsite shop and made sure the tires were properly aired.

We will not be going back to this campground just due to the dirty sites and bathhouses and the noise where the transient campers are located.
