Liked: Beautiful campsite with very clean and well maintained facilities. Handy campsite shop which stocked the essentials and was very reasonably priced. My 3 year old enjoyed the play area and as a family we were all able to enjoy the activity trail through the woods.
Disliked: The cost of some of the activities.
