Beautiful campground...sites clean and well maintained. Campground host had reservation forms properly posted on the site to make arrival hassle-free. My only complaint was that my particular site (#14), onto which I backed a 24-ft motor home, was not very level. I don't use leveling jacks with my rig, so endured the tilt. But the angle caused my propane-driven refrigerator to shut down during the night and all my frozen food was badly thawed.

We have stayed before at Parkside. Most of the spots are large which provides space from your neighbors. Restrooms are always clean and mostly odor free
