Sequoyah is the site we used for Queens Champion and Crown Tournament a few
years ago. It was a nice site, however the second time we used it the park
admin was not kind to us and a couple of the cabins had extensive mold all
over the inside. The hall and kitchen are barely adequate for a feast as
well.
