Overall positive 3xperiencecwith some issues. The site I reserved #6, was not as described. It claimed to be a pull thru but the entry was so narrow, poorly paved and sloped there was no way we could get into the site. In the process of working with the checkin crew we discovered I had booked the wrong date! The end result was I was assigned a beautiful waterfront site, #8. The park staff was so responsive and helpful, they deserve five stars.

5/3/ - 5/9/24, site77. Nice site with good view of the water. Driveway a little tricky because there is a hook to the left halfway into the driveway.
