Our site was at the entrance of the park. The site had plenty of shade and was quiet. We would definitely come back to the park if we were in the area again. We did notice that the lake was a dry lake.

Site1, the asphalt pavement was breaking off with little room to walk on that side of the trailer. One wrong step and you could fall down the hill.

Avoid campsites 1 & 2. Campsite 1 is unsafe. You have to park your RV next to a small hill/cliff. If you exit your RV you may tumble over the cliff. Huge broken off chunks/boulders of asphalt laying in site. 30 Amp electric not working, only 50 amp. Bathroom/showers filthy. Sites were not well kept. We saw no dumpster. The only blessing was there was another spot for us to move to.
