Campsite was very good. Cell service (AT&T) was low but doable, over-the-air tv reception was not available. Multiple barking dogs was a bit irritating. Overall, was very nice.

I don’t understand why the parks can not be mowed. We pay a nightly fee and it should be used for maintenance. Buy the gate keepers a mower and either have them do it when people check out or hire someone!! We are sick of HIGH grass
