Love the campgrounds but did not appreciate hearing a baby calf bawling for 3 days. The campers next to us pulled in a horse trailer containing kids kayaks, oequipment and a baby calf. It was windy, wet and chilly and the poor little things had to have been cold. It was upsetting so we left 2 days early.

No that mowing only happens once every two weeks and when it is done they leave area around camping site that they say should be sprayed by others, so long grass is left uncut around gravel area next to picnic table and firepit. And bathrooms are not cleaned daily.

They need to mow the grass. It’s ridiculous.

OUTLET PARK IS A BEAUTIFUL PARK, BEEN COMING THERE FOR OVER 25 YRS, BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT THE CORP UP KEEP OF THE PARK
IS LACKING, LOTS OF DEAD OR DYING TREES THAT NEED TAKEN OUT, PAVILLION IS DETERERATING FOR LACK OF STAIN, BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER IS IN THE SAME SHAPE, LOT OF THE SITES ARE IN NEED OF REPAVING, I KIND OF WONDER IF BTHE CORP OFFICE IS JUST BLIND TO THIS
FOR WE HAVE EVEN MENTIONED THE THINGS IN NEED OF REPAIR FOR YEARS NOW AND NOTHING EVER GETS DONE, BUT I DO SEE THE
RANGERS GO BY AND JUST WAVE ALL THE TIME,
