Other than a tornado warning and evacuating to bathhouse, it was great. Desperately need additional laundry facilities. One washer and one dryer for the entire campground is insufficient. Stronger wi-fi would be wonderful.

Beautiful park. Well kept. Only problem was finding it from I-40 and then returning to I-40 on eastern route. State maps and GPS not very helpful. You really should have a good county map. Hushed we could have stayed longer. 5 stars.

Beautiful campground. Well kept and very peaceful. Cicadas were in full 'bloom', 😁, but that's part of being one with nature! Will definitely return.

There was nothing bad about the campground. We didn't get to explore the grounds while there.

Cell service is non-existent, wifi was so weak that you could never connect, picnic table was half rotted and not safe to sit on, and the fire pit was rusted so bad that the campfire could not be contained.

There was no way to rinse your tanks at the dump station. All late model camper have some type of tank rinse system that hooks up with a garden hose. THERE WAS NO WAY TO HOOK UP A GARDEN HOSE AT THE DUMP STATION. The dump station station has a broken piece of pipe that is taped up because it has a leak in it. The pipe was also sharp that could cut someone. Not sure we will be back, I had to go somewhere else to rinse and dump our tanks.
