It’s closed permanently now I but I went there before to buy my sunglasses and I had a good experience.

This is THE place to get camping gear and equipment. Family owned and staff very knowledgable. Give military discounts. I’ve bought 5-6 bags, 2 tents, sleeping bags and all have been awesome quality.
