Nice park. I enjoyed it. Would like the bathrooms to be maintained a little better. Full of spiders. Other than that, no complaints.

Our favorite little park. The storm of 21 took out a lot of trees but still we love it there

The camping was great. The only suggestion is that there are many pot holes in the roads, some very deep that needs repaired. Bad for campers and boat trailers.

We like Mott and Highview...it is close and THANK you for being affordable...site 10 and that area is so tight though...and steep!!! I guess not much can be done on that but...just wanted to let y'all know....and also why no golf carts allowed? Still a fun time close to home and folks in all the other sites were fun and having a nice time.

First off we were at Site 7 which says it's a shade site. This is reason I picked this spot. Well when we get there there is absolutely no shade. The tree that would have provided the shade was completely cut down. The bathroom/showers where sooo nasty. Your walking on crickets and they everywhere in the bathroom. It's so bad that the sinks won't even work because they are nesting up in the faucet. The grass was all over grown everywhere. Also after come out of this park you may want to get a alignment on your car. The roads are so bad you drive over potholes every 2 seconds just trying to get to your camp site. This place has really gone down hill. We didn't even stay the whole weekend because I'm sorry we were tent camping and we were surrounded by RVs so we would have had to use the provided bathrooms/showers but there was no way to do that. I will never go back this place ever again.
