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?

Too many ant hills, shower too far from site, sites too close to each other, sites too narrow, hard to get camper level due to unlevel ground,

On the smaller side of some of the camps we've been to, but very affordable and plenty of space. The city if Ennis is close, so you're never too far from anything that you may need. There's not a lot of trees, but each site is within a stones throw of the lake...and has electric water hook up available. Our site wasn't the "levelest", but that wasn't a deal breaker. Mott is definitely worth the money....we've already planned our next trip!
