What stood out? Overall, exceptionally clean and well run. Pictures in brochure always seem nicer than when in person, but the pictures didn't do the place justice.

Owners and Staff: Campground was well organized. Uphill climbing to get places, but that's good exercise. The pool was fabulous. Not all staff was overly friendly, but friendly enough. Got the feeling they didn't really like out-of-towners.
