Personal Comments: I was somewhat surprised, I thought it would be loud and bright but it was the opposite. I live only 7 miles from here and wanted the first campground camping to be close in case Chase needed to go home or we forgot something. Luckily, Chase did really well and although we forgot "EVERYTHING", we had a lot of fun. A really nice "State Park" Campground.
Sorry for the edit, I wanted to add a couple pictures of the site
