Q:
We camped at fort desoto and loved it. We now are becoming concerned about the recent reviews stating there is a rat problem. Why? Any feed back is very welcomed.

A:
We didn’t see any either but we were only in the parking lot for the dog park and on the dog beach. We were there probably 6-8 times during January
