Connie was super accommodating, agreeing to meet with our friends who we shared the camper with to show them the ropes since we were delayed by several hours due to car trouble on our way to the campground. It was so nice to arrive at our campsite to an already set up camper after a stressful day of travel! The camper was clean, the beds were comfortable and having a bathroom, water and electric available when you’re used to tent camping was great!
