Wonderful place to camp. Only problem is that one can hardly reserve a camp spot due to so many people reserving them early and for all summer/fall,

While it’s probably an impossible task the reservation program needs to be reviewed. Too many people reserved for a long period and only using the space part time m

The park is very nice as a rule. It is clean and lots of shade. To many rules though. In the past they have said no unregistered vehicles which included e-bikes. No wading pools for the toddlers. I don't agree with either of these. These rules are made for people to break and I see people on e-bikes all the time. Someone with a 5th wheel camper 40 long that has a full bath, and kitchen will use 10 times as much water as a person with a pop-up camper and a wading pool. The park is very nice but it is usually the people who camp there that are the problem. This is a problem where ever you go.
If you can go to outlet during the week, you will be fine. Stay away on the weekends.

Enjoyed the trip. Will return next season. However unsure why dump station was closed when we left so had to pay to dump at another location.

We stayed at A loop. The week was great. Our one reservation was at the dump station. There is only one sewer connection and there is no grey water hose to connect to the camper. Expanding the dump station to accommodate two RVs would be helpful.

We had a nice site, very level. Nearest sites were not on top of us. The park was fully booked the weekend we were there but the loop we were in was pretty quiet.
