Everything was fine. Site was clean and mowed. Beautiful view of the lake. Camp has always been quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Local TV stations are reachable and good phone service. We are looking forward to our next trip.

Mott is a bit of an older camp, but we enjoyed the quiet and had no problem moving around with our 40 motorhome and toad. The site was quite level, with a nice view of the lake. The staff was out doing normal maintenance and the restrooms were well stocked and clean. Water and electric service worked well, we had good ATT coverage, and on our way out, the dump station was well located, and easy to use. Everything you might need in the local area. Defiantly on our list to return.

The sites and roads are in disrepair and you will need to level at site.

This was awful. We were in the group camp area. There was a rowdy drunk group who kept our group up all night partying, bad language, and creating an unsafe environment. We didn’t have a camp host ever come to us. We had no way of resolving their lack of ability to follow the posted quiet hours. We called the county sheriff out and the deputy spent 2 minutes onsite and asked them if they were being loud, and they said no. He left and they got louder. The police made us even more unsafe because they got louder. The police also never took any time to come back. It was a horrible experience. This is not a safe park for families.

Pull in sites and most other sites are facing away from lake. Get a view of someone else trailer! Someone didn't think of want smart enough to play it the sites! Probably won't visit this park again.
