Love the park and it's facilities. The only negative issue we had during this visit was the cleanliness of the shower/restrooms. Only after my husband contacted one of the volunteers, where they then cleaned. The floors and everything were wet. Fans should have been turned on to allow things to dry off.

Well spaced large sites make for a very nice experience. The campground is very clean. The staff is helpful and friendly and the proximity to the town is both convenient and not intrusive.

cross lake is a great campground because you feel like you are out in the woods but you have access to modern amenities, lakes, and beaches. Best place to explore the out of doors with family and friends.
