We arrived after dark and the signage was terrible, we found the next day they were hard to see even in the daylight, faded almost to the point you couldn't read them. Our spot #14 was great, level and next to the river with large trees surrounding the site, the sites are well space with plenty of room. The only real draw back was the lack of cell reception, we have AT&T and we had no signal, so no internet for the TV and we also tried to use the digital antenna and that was useless also. If you are looking for a quite spot unconnected from everything this is a beautiful location.

there are only about 3 sites that can pick up Dish satellite service because of trees. The satellites are south west which is in line with the road. If some of the tops of trees that follow the road were trimmed it would help. What would also help would have WIFI service. Cell service is non existent in the park. We come to the beautiful park every year and enjoy it. The check out time should be noon not 5PM. I do not drive in the afternoon pulling a camper. I always leave about 9:00 or 10:00 before the wind comes up and less traffic. We are senior campers and it is important when we travel.
