It was a wonderful little campsite, right near the playground, the bathrooms, and covered picnic tables. The view at the end of the road was amazing. Electricity worked great and neighbors was friendly. The whole experience was amazing, I will definitely come back to this park!

We stayed at site #51, we used a small tent. It had amazing sunset views, I will say if you have a camper I am not sure how you would fit it. If you choose this spot be sure to bring your extension cord. It is a steep few steps from parking to the tent site and fire, so be safe.
