We picked site 4. We didn't realize it is a little tough to back into. But we made it.
Branches are good for shade but couldn't put our awning out.
Electric only but nice dump station and separate water fill. Dual station!
Since it's low, no tv service. That can be a good thing.
2 bars on Verizon. But decent service.

I was suprised how good the water from the hydrants tasted. The fish hatchery near by is a great place to tour in the afternoon if it’s too hot to do anything else.

Beautiful campground with huge spaces. Recreation.gov was not nearly as impressive. The first spot I reserved had a faulty electrical pedastal so I talked to the camphost about changing. The camphost said they could not and I would have to call recreation.gov. After waiting on hold more than 30 minutes with recreation.gov, I was informed that they could not change it - the camphost had to change. After pointing out the circular error - they still would not change my spot. Campground great - recreation.gov: not so much.

Well kept COE park. Level sites BUT electric hook ups only (No water) so make sure you fill fresh water tank. Would definitely stay again.
