Site 21 is angled entry which is fine however the end of the road is closed so you can not pull your RV out without having to back up all the way to the main Rd with it. ALSO the fire ring and picnic table are on the back side of your camper right next to your sewer lines. We were unable to use them all weekend. Even if you were tent camping who wants to sit by a fire next to the sewer system?!?! Bathhouse was full of water considering the showers are not in the same unit. And they were a very dirty mess. Only sites we liked the set up on were 20 (which is not listed as a site) and 12. Don't go by the site pics either. None of them get cleared of the pine needles. You can not see the concrete/asphalt where your camper goes

Site 65 is now a full hook up site. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. One bar for Verizon. Good access roads. Very poor signage. Nowhere is there a sign for the campground. If I have any complaint, it would be that at the edge of the pad is about an 18” steep slope covered in pine needles. You can’t tell how solid the ground is under the needles. Stepping in the wrong spot can have you sink to your ankle. Not bueno. Extending the gravel at a less steep slope would have been much better.

If you have ever wanted to experience a hobo camp, this is the place.
Bring extra trash bags and gloves.
Diapers, used oil containers, bottles, cans, just imagine anything you would put in the trash and you will find it laying on the ground there.
Sad park that is neglected.
Most discussing COE park I have ever visited.

The bathrooms were kept warm, which I greatly appreciated. The sites were small and very close together. This did not affect me, because I was the only person in this section. My site was right next to a bright street light. There were also other bright lights around. This was very bothersome. When I go out camping, it is to be in nature, not to feel like you are on a city block. You can not enjoy the stars or the sun rise with the light hiding the views.
