"“We wanted to do some upgrades, and we wanted to have more overnight business. We wanted to turn it into a more family-oriented campground, so families would spend time here,” said Malanuk. The campground had become a primarily long-term resident campground, and the Malanuks wished to take it in a new direction, hoping to appeal to more of the overnight and vacationing crowd. However, any current long-term resident was given the option to stay, and many did." "While not all planned improvements are complete, the campground has upgraded many sites to 50-amp and has also cleaned up and leveled them to make them more accessible to the larger RVS on the roads today. New washers and dryers have been added, and they have rebuilt the fishing pier. New wooden furniture sits out by the lake, as well as a new playground for children." http://manninglive.com/2018/07/28/a-new-koa-in-town/
