We happened across this spot by accident whilst looking for somewhere to stay at the last minute. The only booking process was really easy and we booked site 3 which was next to the lake. We were in a 28 foot RV and even with the back wheels up on chocks we were still at a bit of an angle. I didn't find it a massive problem just something you should be aware of as all of the sites directly next to the lake slope downwards. I would highly recommend staying at Mott (don't forget to bring some firewood)

Scary! Many vagrants. Even had a panhandle hit me up. Was booked for 4 days, didn't stay. No one on duty. I don't recommend for single, senior women!

Park needs lots of TLC. Very runned down. Scattered dried up and out of place railroad ties throughout campsite making trip hazards. Sketchy campers that seem to be there lot more than min. stay. One camper in tent during freezing temp approach my friend fir a cigarette and money.

no one at gate
site was not level side to side #26
the 'moon' shape pull-through are too narrow and some turn too sharp for big rigs. total length does not count if they are narrow and sharp curves

The park needed lots of work, grass was long and looked like it hadn't been maintained very well. The pull through site was really unlevel and had a nut tree that was dropping nuts the whole time.

Very adequate campsite and priced accordingly. It just seems kinda tired and unloved. It suited us fine in our 13' trailer. Water connection was too far away for my 25' hose but used on board tank. This site 12 is good with a tree nearby and it's not crammed together with another site.

Nice view of lake with many pull through sites. Lots of leveling blocks needed at site 29 which had an acorn tree dropping nuts constantly. Grass looked like it hadn't been mowed for a very long time. Granted, it was November when I was there...maybe better during summer months.
