Our stay was great. Windy, but great. Nice, quiet park. We had issues with the reservation system. First it said First come first served after Oct 7th. We found out from the Camp Host that that was not true. Had considerable difficulty selecting days to reserve. Maybe my lack of skill on the computer, maybe unclear instructions. Whatever, we finally got it done and enjoyed our five day stay. We always do! And we will reutrn in the spring when the campground opens again.

Very nice campground, clean and well kept! The only downside was the wasps. We were stung 3 times! No fault of the park or it's management. They are attracted to food and drinks!

When we arrived, someone was in one of our parking space. We had to wait for almost an hour and a half to get set up.

When I was making my Reservation Online, the Space I chose did not give the Option for 30 AMP. or 50 AMP. My RV was a 50 AMP and when I connected my Electric Service, I had to use a "Dog Bone" adapter. This caused us to have to run 1 AC at a time. We survived because of Cooler weather. This would have been tuff to survive in 100 degree heat.
My suggestion is to show a Electric AMP for every Site before reserving site.
