Hi Halley,
We just added the map to the campground page, so you can click on the ‘Campground Map’ button to check it out!
Not as good as we thought it was going to be. The canopy tower was 100 feet long. It’s very very short. There was no portable water, been like that since May. We were given 2 gallons a day. The sites on the Old Prairie a very small. Bathroom was nice and tidy all four days we were there. We had site 48 which was a hammock site. And much bigger than the rest in OP. We saw some wildlife; turkeys and dears. If you really want to disconnect this is the place. It’s a dead zone for cell phone reception. You can go to the not so close concession stand if you need to make a call or check your email. I’m not really sure I’d like to go back. But that’s just me.
