Perfect setting, but at the new gray water dump the concrete and rim slope made difficult to use standard hose connection.

Superb hosts helped me quite a bit to get through a rocky day with a repair issue. Always feels like 'coming home' at this nice park.

Don’t allow chalk in the campsite location.
It makes a mess and the incoming patron tracts it into their camper.
Weeds were terrible around the fire pit and the site itself.
