The facilities here were clean and kept at a comfortable temperature. The sites were clean and provided plenty of space. If I would have checked the generation schedule, maybe the fishing would have been better!

Park was beautiful. Bathrooms need to be cleaner. Men had hair on the floor. Women’s bathroom toilet is uneven. No paper towel or hand soap. Over all bathrooms need to be remodeled.

I only stayed overnight so my comments are limited. Easy to access from Hwy 25. The park is nice and clean, campsites are easy to access as well as the electric and water. Cell phone reception was weak, 2 bars but otherwise a great place to camp.
