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.

One of my favorite parks. Repeat camper.
I recommend sites closer to the water (swimming beach) the other side is on a hill and split y back in parking, but not bad if you want a buddy spot.
