Our stay was easy, good communication with host. I do suggest bringing ear plugs, the road is very close and traffic is heavy much of the time, sometimes even through the night.

John let us come in while he was away from home as this was our third time to his site. He upgraded the electrical outlet to a pedestal style which was nice. we got to talk and found out the pines we were nestled under were planted by his great-grandfather. Looking forward to another visit when we are in the area again!

Like John says, get there earlier in the afternoon before traffic gets crazy. We had to block traffic to get our 30 foot fifth wheel backed in. I wouldn't advise a bigger RV. The parking area was flat and John had a 30a plug and a water hose available. The location is convenient for visiting Grand Rapids, going up either 44 or Whitneyville Ave to I-96. The biggest detraction was the traffic noise, which almost never stopped. Bring good earplugs.
