Beautiful spot but something
was wrong with the water hook up and we ended up having to go to town and buy water to use in the camper. We could not find a camp host.

It is a beautiful park. The sights are very large and we were surprised to find we had full hook up. Someone was on our sight when we arrived and there was no designated person to help address the issue. Luckily the sheriff was right across from us and suggested an alternate sight. It all worked out and we had a nice two night stay. I realize it is a very large park and there is a shortage of labor but the park needs some general clean up of sticks and leaves.

Public use area has been abandoned and is in need of renovation. Campground was acceptable. Tired old park ready for some kind of face-lift. Over all "good" but with a little funding, could be GREAT.
