“C-20-this site is nice because it has an extra wide parking pad, although the pad is rather downward sloping. There is loads of green space surrounding this site, so you get the feeling that you're really camping. Convenient location to a bathroom. The area behind the tent pad does tend to flood in heavy rains.”
