    Crazy weird place but great fun and good service

    The guy who runs this is a great guy. Helpful and polite. I stopped in for some beer and food and I am so glad that I did. Very historic too and you can meet some cool people here to talk to.

    k7, we stayed in a cabin, but there are RV areas and I'm 95% sure there are hookups. Two other RV's were there that night. Have a good stay. It's a fun stop.
