Arrived on Saturday and got the last spot available-besides parking in a group area - it was a great spot! #5 Pull-thru. Level and asphalt. Only 30 amp so moved to 50 amp in Santa Fe Trail for a couple more nights. Would stay again! Back in spots along the water look great and would try then next trip.

It was OK but not great- lots of bugs swarming all over the vehicles, a rather rude Park Ranger, and the shower had tiles falling off on the floor, and many spiders and bugs.

Great place for a family picnic. Great shelter house with plenty of tables, electricity and close to the bathroom. Horseshoe pit close by plus play equipment for the littles. Near the water so we got a nice breeze from it.
