The sites were mostly unlevel. We had to move to another site. Restrooms were nice and clean.

Something sketchy is going on in this park . Until it’s resolved I don’t feel safe here at all- we left a day early. No plans to camp here again safer at home- Not to mention most sites are far from level.

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)

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.
