The overall condition of the facility has gone down over the years. They need more trash pickups, all people were forced to leave items outside next to cans. Talk about bear food. There needs to be better attention to the cleanliness of the restrooms. I believe they should be serviced at least twice a day. Many of the lights in the various rooms did not work. Weeds were abundant throughout the sites. Now that there are no longer any discounts, I feel they facility should be better taken care of.

Overall good experience based on their location and landscape. However, showers and bathrooms are in poor conditions, staff at check in was unpolite and sarcastic!

This place is large but just a huge dustbowl with very uneven sites. Theresa at the front desk was one of the worst examples of park personnel we have encountered. She was rude, short, and not helpful at all. She needs to find another job because clearly she does not like her current one.
We initally got a site that was 11" off level in a motorhome. We asked if we could move and her answer was 'we're full. I asked about some of the empty sites (I had already scoped out which ones might be closer to level) and she finally said 'Well we have some drive in sights that are not reservable'... I told her 'well we just drove in and we are here... she then looked and mentioned a couple... One of them is the exact one that not only a minute before was 'full'.
I could NEVER recommend this park to anyone. BTW we have been RVing for over 25 years so not new to staying in parks. Be careful but YMMV

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
