    We camped at site 12 and it looks nothing like the pictures. People should also know about the one way heavily pot holed road, it’s not great if you’re pulling a small trailer!

    • Hi Steve,
      We took the photos of the campsites in mid 2022 so they are all current. What was different about site #12? Did they cut some trees down?
