I love staying at COE campgrounds. They rarely have sewer hookups, but I can generally work around that. This park wasn't too hard to get into, however, the roads were pretty narrow. Most of the camp sites are pretty sloped, there are only a couple available for longer units like mine. I didn't have any trouble leveling though. The trees were trimmed high enough to not hit my RV (which is 13'-5" high). I loved staying here. There isn't much to do (other than water sports), I rode my bike and ran out of places to go because I didn't want to get onto the busy/narrow roads. But I was only here for 2 days. I'll come back again most likely.
