Not concerned about the post for snakes in the area but became a concern when the area was highly overgrown with grass & weeds. Beautiful landscape but could've been better.

The whole park was in need of mowing especially around the campsites. The swim area was so overgrown that we didn't even try to go through it. The old swim divider has been laying in the way by lot #1 for over 2 years.

This is a beautiful place to camp. We were on camp site#1 with a beautiful view of Lake Bardwell. You can swim in the lake too. I read some reviews that other campers left that said the grass had not been mowed and was overgrown and that the roads had pot holes. I figured the COE didn’t mow because of the beautiful wild flowers. All of the pot holes have been repaired. I would definitely stay here again. The sites have water and electricity but no sewer. There is a dump station.

This is a good place for an overnight stay. I don’t think we’d stay more than a couple of days.

The bathrooms outside and inside have tons of bugs and spiders, and yes we are camping but you would think the places that you do your personal things could be sprayed for bugs etc a couple times a week!

It rained and heavy storms 5 out of 7 days we were there. Couldn’t enjoy our time there.

This was my first experience at Mott’s sites. While I always enjoy myself camping, unfortunately, my first experience above all was great but unfortunately, the facility was quite unkept. Unfortunately the ENTIRE site was about a foot tall with grass and weeds. I was told Mott has a contract with a mowing company and unfortunately because of weather, they were not able to mow, but nothing was disclosed to any campers. The Rangers did go out the previous day, knowing there was a full weekend of campers ahead and mow patches, as well as a walking path down to fish but unfortunately, wasn’t really what I had in mind. I went with my parents, grandmother, brother, and other half. Myself and my other half were in a tent, but the rest were in a 45 ft RV. Unfortunately the trees were very overgrown and the turns for the entrances to the sites are very sharp. The sites are definitely not made for big RVs Enjoyed myself and made the best of the weekend! Weather turned out beautiful! Other than failure of human upkeep with trees and grass the park was quaint and beautiful!

Our trip to Mott Park was pleasant. The Park Rangers were great too. Very nice and respectful to the campers.
