We love camping at this campground and have camped here for years. However, on our last trip our neighbors kept their dog off leash most of the weekend. Although the dog stayed in their campsite most of the time, the last morning we were there we were outside cooking breakfast with our dog tethered in our campsite when their dog wandered into our campsite. Our dog who we always keep leashed became upset and started growling which prompted the neighbors’ dog to attack our dog. It was horrible! Luckily we were able to get the dogs apart, and our dog will be all right. We would like to recommend that some large signage be put up where all campers can see it about keeping dogs leashed or in campers at all times. Campers claim that they don’t always know this rule, and signage clearly posted would assure that everyone would know the rule and hopefully incidents like this wouldn’t happen again.

What a great park. Lots of trees, nice paths and the maintenance people Curtis and Brenda are the greatest care takers ever. They go out of their way to help people and are so very friendly My only complaint is that the lots are hard to get for more than three days because of people reserving 2 and 4 weeks at a time the later cancel all but the week ends. The 2 weeks a month are not enforced as some use two different emails to log almost full time occupancy. We love the place and want to go several time this summer but it is a challenge trying to get around these 2 unfair practices of others. I am referring to section C with these comments.

Very clean & pretty park, busy way with traffic in the park, plus lots of highway noise and not much privacy at all.

Excellent shaded sites. Clean bathrooms. A surprisingly nice park to camp at with hiking trails. We stayed at outlet park and great experience.
