We spent a week at Waveland park. The views from every window of our RV were of the lake and mountains. This was the most beautiful area. The price was very inexpensive. We will definitely be going back.

Spot 3 has either a water leak or holds water at front of your camper door it's always wet and the fire ring is always full.. the dump station does not have the proper hose at one and a damaged hose at the other.. the park is always full so I don't understand the lack of care shown here.. Very disappointing for $20 a night.
