Park is old, roads are very narrow and very crooked with low hanging limbs that scratched our motorhome. The first site that we were assigned was extremely unlevel. the camp host came and looked at it and moved us to another site. The reservation center did not honor our Golden Age card that entitled us a 50% discount on the parking fee. Not happy at all with our experience!
