All is good, BUT, please finish the restrooms! It has been almost a year with no restrooms, and the building is a prefab!

Beautiful site overlooking a running stream with rapids

. Lot was a nice size. It wasn’t totally level, but was able to be leveled easily. Paved with grill, fire ring and table. Water was in an odd location.

We love the owls and the remote area with wildlife. We stayed 2 weeks and want do this again. The dump station is out on the highway outside of the park and the speed bumps are so high you have to get out and and pull your blue tot around them by hand in the ditch. Haven't used the parks showers or restrooms since covid. We cleaned restrooms when we park hosted so we have certain expectations on how clean public restrooms should be and so far we haven't found one anywhere that we would feel safe to use. The new shower and restroom is still not open but we want use it anyway. We love the park but it is a clean your own campsite park still.
