The spots are spacious. We were in RV spot #11 and had reservoir views on one side and mountain views on the other. Our stay was peaceful. We caught a bit of the Aurora Borealis one night. The park and restrooms are well kept and clean. We enjoyed different walks around the reservoir each day. Mackay is nearby for groceries and gas. This was a really nice and peaceful week.
No obstructions at all for our Starlink.

What a bargain for senior citizens full time Rving. James Shoemaker was the best host we have ever encountered, he was friendly, on top of anything that needed to be done, and very knowledgeable. The small town of Mackay has helpful, friendly folks as well. There is a great museum in town. Things to do, fish, tour the mines, see a waterfall from a hole in the mountain and see a fault line from an earthquake.
