We were there the last weekend of the season and there were a lot of no-shows all around us, so it was a very relaxing stay. The site was right next the beach, but the water was way down, so much so that the entire marked swimming area was dry. Needless to say the grandkids found quite a few interesting fish skeletons that weekend.

Pull thru site in The Flats was fine for a one night stop but we would try for a site in the Canal View for a longer stay. Site was slightly off level side to side. Enjoyed watching the barges pass through.
