It is absolutely ridiculous that the areas of this campground have not been cleaned from a storm that happened several months ago. several campsites, playground, and large pavilion are all sectioned off with caution tape and have been allowed to grow up tall with weeds and brush making it very unsightly. Talking with the park rangers I was told it was a funding issue that has kept the work from being completed. I stay at this park multiple times a year and have for a several years. My kids and grandkids have always enjoyed the playground/park but they were not able to do that on our last 2 trips to this campground. I have reservations this week and also the week of Thanksgiving and hope this gets addressed soon.
Thanks,
JB

This park has been SEVERLY neglected, I can only assume from lack of funds or lack of volunteers. Someone did try to mow before we got there, but pretty obvious it was done with a brush hog, as no commercial mower could have possibly knocked that high grass growth down. Such a beautiful park too, well laid out, easy to park I would think any rig could park easily and beautiful old established trees were everywhere. Unfortunately, even the roads could not be walked upon easily because of debris. My little puppy could hardly walk through the roads or the side of the road due to grass that needed to be bailed after cut. The playground was not accessible whatsoever. Many areas were marked off with yellow tape (looked like a crime scene) and it had been that way for a very long time - this was not a new thing. Sad....very sad. If you would have had a mower available, my husband would have gladly volunteered to mow. We could have picked up limbs if someplace to put them. You should seek more volunteers....and should be ashamed to let such a beautiful park go to seed like that.

Bring bug spray. Nice for fishing. Quiet. Cheap. We used it as an overnight.
