The park is great.
Most of the vehicles drive way to fast in a 10 mph park. People don’t pick up after their pets.

Nice quite area. Showers were adequate, but could be improved. Nice addition would be to add grills at the sites, not just the grill over the firepit. Will definitely be back again.

The park in real nice. The restrooms and showers were cleaned on regular basis. The traffic was heavy in park, but were courteous with all the kids riding bikes and walking the roadways. We had hope to trout fish more, but mother nature had us in high water most of the trip, so check flows if your planning to trout fish. Overall, the trip was as always very enjoyable.
