We camp here every spring break. It's a nice, clean park but there is a lot of traffic at that particular time.

Spot was very level. Didn't have to use any leveling blocks. Minimal phone service. Power pole is behind spot which would hinder you if you have a gate that opens over the bumper. Fit our 27 foot camper and has an extra spot to park vehicles or toys.

This is a well kept park. First time camping here. Won’t be the last! Rained the whole weekend but the camp sites were nice. They say the fishing is good. Maybe can try next time.
