Lovely park with low fees. Many great sites, but many sites are severely sloped so choose wisely to make sure that you can level your rig.

The park itself was nice. But the campground roads had no shoulders. There were large drop-offs which it made it very difficult to back into the sites. And many of the sites had such steep inclines it didn't look like you could level your trailer. Make sure you look at the pitch of any site you are looking to book. I have a 35 ft 5th wheel. We stayed in site 3. As we were backing in the trailer went off the curb, dropped on the bed of truck and put a large dent in it. We did speak to 2 park rangers about the incident. They were both very nice but obviously could not help us. We asked for some gravel to put where our trailer had dropped. All they could do was let maintenance know about it. Nothing had been done by the time we left. The turnarounds are also small making it harder for the bigger rigs to get around them without going off the road.
