1 night at The Ark At Oxbow Lake

Nice property and Wifi was a bonus. Host was excellent with communication. Signage was lacking at the turn in, but GPS was accurate and Scott replied right away when we weren’t sure. Campsites are kind of close together but overall a cozy feel. Would stay here again.
