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.

Nice park, but could use some work on their roads. Our site didn’t have enough parking. Otherwise, we enjoyed our visit & staff was very friendly.

The breaker went out causing a line of 5 camp sites to have no electricity. The electrician was called Friday night and showed the following morning. Because he did not show that night they sent him on his way. They told us we were free to leave. The electric would not be fixed until Monday. This was in 100 degree weather.

The electric kept shutting off. The Ranger said the 6 sites wer running off 100amps. It kept blowing. It was so hot and we had dogs. We could not stay. Our food would have spoiled as well. Can I be refunded the fee?
