We had our own fire pit that came with everything needed if you wanted to cook utensils wise and the surrounding scenery is so pretty we took time to just chill and eat lunch here one day. The drive in is fun too as you see horses and wild deer. We ended up extending our stay to enjoy the area a bit more and the property manager was super helpful in doing this. ##### Abigail C.

The Porta potty’s needed to be cleaned more often, and the shower room was not the best shape..The property could’ve used more trimming and more signs for easier location. ##### Barbra D.
