Little leveling required. Our 50 foot hose did not quite reach the water hookup, we had to add the 25 foot hose. The 30 amp power dropped when we used multiple appliances at once, but otherwise reliable. Sites are long with a lot of space between. Even in season, this park was almost empty during the week. Many birds and other animals. We got no OTA TV here. Verizon was very slow with only 1 bar of 4G. The entry road is a bit rough in spots, but manageable if you go slowly.

Beautiful campgrounds, shady. Nasty speedbumps on the road going through and past the facility, but there are campsites both sides of that road, so can understand why. OTA tv reception is terrible on camp side of road, don't know about riverside, which is more open per the river. Cell phone reception was almost non-existent for us on Consumer Cellular, only week 4-G. Good for a night or two. Would stay again. The road in is quite rough due to heavy truck traffic at Riceland terminal, perhaps they should do something about that.

The grounds are well kept and everything is clean. The only issue is the bath house. The hot water only lasts about 30 seconds.
