Preface: Our review is based on the following lifestyle. We are full-time RVers simply travelling to see the US and not vacationing. We generally spend 3-14 nights in any CG and move on. Our priority in selecting a CG is: America the Beautiful Senior Pass discounts, then Military CGs, City, County, then State Parks. Commercial CGs are our last choice.
General Overview: The route in has easy access. The roads were adequate with no difficulties inside the park. We stayed 4 nights at this park at Site #70. Electric ONLY hook-ups with steady 50 amp service. Other sections of the CG have electric and water or electric, water, and sewer. This park/CG was very busy. Our site was on a gravel surface with tiny gray rock patio surface. To level we had to elevated front wheels 6”. Exiting the RV required a stool with two additional levels. The patio area has a nice picnic table, fire ring, and lantern/trash pole. Very few of the sights have a view of the lake with site 28, in my opinion having the best lake view in the CG. There are restrooms in this section that were busy and best frequented immediate after cleaning (about 9:30 a.m.). The floors in the bathhouse are not graded properly and you end up having pools of water in various areas of the floor . There is not a designated dog park in this area of the CG. Trash collection is a dumpster located in the vicinity of the bathhouse. AT&T and Verizon service were both available usually with two of four bars.

..Hosts were the greatest, plus checkout box at office great especially for early checkout. Much better than South Marcum. They could take a lesson on how to operate.

Had a really nice site 121. Septic hook up was quite a distance from Electric and water hookup. made difficult to place camper where we wanted. But got it to work just moving camper up. Just couldn't place where we wanted without going out to by another 25 foot extension hose for septic. Other than that great spot and had a great time.
