Bathrooms could have used a little more attention. Not bad but not good either.

The park was very clean. The volunteers were very nice and helpful. Some of the RV sites are pretty tight. We stayed on Loop A Site 7 and there is a tree that leans towards camper pretty far. And we were not able to let out our awning. But the shade was great and we loved the access to our boat right beside the camper. Overall we loved staying there.

Our visit was great. The park was clean & overall well kept. The staff was extremely kind & helpful.

The only room for improvement. As a tent camper it was a little hard to find a level place to set up my tent. As for other campers pick up after your dogs, I spent 30 minutes walking around picking up dog poop before before I could setup.
