Site 9002 please have an electrician check the pedestal. It's not that there's no power, but the electric must be connected to the adjacent sites. When one of those sites plugs into there pedestal, it disrupts the electric to site 9002. Please fix this, thank you. 6/23/2019

Camped in preferred tent camping spots w/dog. Next time I will bring an easy-up for shade as the tree on my spot was small. Would love kids' activities to start earlier in the day during the week. Pizza at the restaurant was superb! New pool and spas were wonderful... 6/22/2019
