Rangers were great about getting power back on when it went out. The grass was tall around the playground. Bathrooms needed attention as well.

The grass needs to be cut more often. They should weed eat around areas( like fish cleaning tables). Donβt like walking through the tall grass for fear of snakes
Is there some way to put more air or ventilation in bathhouses?

Most beautiful campground, secluded and quiet. Nothing nearby. Bring what you need. Had some local TV stations and cell coverage was decent to work. Loved the locals camping there. Very helpful and friendly.

Was a nice park and enjoy our stay. But no one was at the gate the whole time we were there. Bathrooms were not cleaned as often as the should have been. Had bad smells.

It was a quiet location. Make sure you have at least 4 water hose because the faucets are not next to your pad but way out between the campsites. Luckily we had enough hoses to reach.

We really like it there itβs beautiful, but they need to tend to the bathrooms better. We were there five nights-bathrooms were never touched.
