Campsite was good with lots of shade, level and utilities good. Our picnic table was old - some sites had new tables. We were there during the week And saw very few other campers. Shower house was fair - used once. We had issues with our vehicle so did not get to drive and around park.

Need to mark the sites on your website that nothing over a 20 ft camper will fit. I had paid to be on site 73 and my camp is 29 ft and no way we were getting on that site. We tried! There were no other sites with water hook ups left for the weekend, it was come back home or take a site with no water. My daughter was on 70 which pushed us way away from them. I was not a happy camper that weekend.
Attend was good and trying to help.

Shower stall floors would benefit from rubber mats, or at least a little better cleaning. Otherwise, excellent experience!

Beautiful park- friendly host. Clean bathhouses. Only complaint is the let the grass get to tall between cuttings. As I understand they only cut every 2 weeks.
