Our site was very nice but not near the water like we wanted as they were all filled and not available. But after we got there we found that about a third of the parks spots were empty and never did have any visitors the whole time we were there. We camped in a spot with no afternoon shade and most of the shady spots were empty. We were told by another camper, who was there before and stayed after we left, that coles creek was hard to get into because a lot of the regular campers would book for a whole week to insure having the spot they wanted on the week end. Sounds extravagant but some people have more money than finesse. We probably will not go back if that's the way things are going to be.

Very clean campground. The swimming area is easily accessible. The area we had was very level which made it easy for parking the camper.
