Great park, sites are paved, some have pretty good slopes may cause difficulty in leveling front to back with some rigs. we were able to barely level front to back. Full hookups are big plus. Bathrooms and showers were clean and good but no hooks to hang anything, used baby changing table. Lake is great, and the site is dark!, Great dark sky for star viewing.
