Camp grounds were clean, the new restroom/shower were very nice and always clean.
Stopped by the goat tower and had a great time.

The campsite was nice, mostly shaded, and for the most part clean. My major issue was how narrow the site was. In order to reach the hook ups I had to pull to the rear of the site and when I walked out my trailer door I was in my fire pit, which no one had ever cleaned. In order to walk on the pad I had to pull the picnic table off of the pad. But the new bathrooms were wonderful and there was a nice amount of space between the sites. So overall I was happy with my experience.

This is the first time we camped at a park where no one was on the gate when we came in and after finding a site we were not permitted to set up until we had registered. We arrived about 3pm. We had no internet to use and only our cell phones which we were unable to use. We called the phone number listed and after about 20 minutes waiting were disconnected. We called a second time and after another 20 minutes a polite gentleman answered the phone and we were able to make our reservation. We were able to hook up our electric so we could run our air, but since the fee both did not open until 5 ( we have a motorhome) I had to walk to the booth (with difficulty I am 77)to pick up our registration tags. I am going to have to take my grandkids with me to get a site registered from now on I guess. I think you should talk to the state parks and see how they do it. Thank you, Everett Allen ( gate attendant for 7 years at Shelbyville )
