    We camped there for a week. We were assigned a spot right on the water. Unfortunately, there’s no sign anywhere saying you can’t swim in the “second” lake. There’s only a small section right at the entrance, directly in front of the restaurant, where everyone can stare at you. In the end, only my dog tested the water. The campsite (No. 1) was full of duck and goose droppings. Not just here and there... but literally one to three droppings per centimeter. At first we thought it was the dog park because there was so much poop. And a dead bird that we ended up cleaning up ourselves. After I was already ready to leave, we were assigned a slightly better spot. It would have been nicer with a motorhome. The food at the restaurant isn’t exactly cheap for what you get. One day we had all-you-can-eat ribs three times, but we had to force them down because there was so much BBQ sauce on them that it actually hurt our mouths. The three of us also had to share a bowl of fries, and the four of us had to share a salad. However, it was a very nice place to relax; the restrooms were very clean, and so were the showers. And for the kids, there was the man with the covered wagon, who drove across the campground twice a day.

    Wir waren eine Woche mit dem Zelt da. Bekamen einen Platz direkt am Wasser zugewiesen. Leider steht nirgends das man dort in dem "zweiten" see nicht schwimmen kann. Es gibt nur einen kleinen Abschnitt ganz vorne am Eingang direkt vor dem Restaurant, wo man von allen angeglotzt werden kann. Das Wasser hat dann nur mein Hund getestet. Der Stellplatz (Nr. 1) war voller Enten und Gänsescheisse. Als nicht nur hier und da.... sondern wirklich pro Zentimeter ein bis drei Kittel. Wir dachten erst das ist die hundewiese weil da so viel scheisse lag. Und ein toter Vogel den wir dann selbst noch weggeräumt haben. Nach dem ich schon wieder fahren wollte haben wir einen minimal besseren Platz zugewiesen bekommen. Mit Wohnmobiel wär das schöner gewesen. Das Essen im Restaurant ist nicht grad günstig für das was man bekommt. Wir hatten einen Tag drei mal Rippchen al you can eat, die musste man sich dann aber rein zwingen weil so viel bbq sauce drauf war das es im Mund schon weh tat. Man musste sich auch zu dritt eine Schahle Pommes teilen und einen Salat zu viert. Allerdings war es zum entspannen sehr schön, die Toiletten sehr sauber, duschen auch. Und für Kinder gab's den Mann mit dem Planwagen, der fuhr zwei mal am Tag über den platz.
