Additional info
Internet access
We received a moderate 4G Verizon signal at this campground and did not need our cellular antenna and booster to improve MiFi hot spot internet access. Unfortunately, the Verizon bandwidth was very low, even unusable at times. We tried to use the free campground WiFi several times, but the service was also slow and connection attempts often failed.
Water Quality
The water at this campground tested moderately hard – we added our water softener to the water filtration stack.
