Customer service at check in was far less than that if any other COE I’ve camped at. The lady at the gate was very condescending. She was just hateful.

site 36 was hard to get into as it had places washed away and it was a steep uphill location.

Beautiful, spacious sites. Staff were very friendly. Park is very clean. Convenient location for dump station and trash. Nice hiking trail to lake. The neighboring town is also very nice with good restaurants and shops.
