Park was quiet, they were working on cleaning up, roads need some attention. Bathhouse was clean and staff was friendly. The negative was the sand burrs. Overall a good place to stay

The grass was so tall it was horrible. The ant hills were really bad also. Was very disappointed in my last visit Please do better

Every time I stay at Mott, I have a better time. This Labor Day, it rained a couple of times which kept the weather nice, but made the lake and swimming area, a little less enjoyable. I had my RV water heater go out, so I had to use the facilities provided. Overall it did the job, but how can spider webs and Dirt Dober's nest regrow so fast as I'm sure they are cleaned away every day. Maybe a treatment for insects in the bathrooms would help. I always set off a fogger when I return because no matter how hard I try something always tries to come home with me. Can wait until I get another chance to camp at Mott CG.

I would like for the Group Shelter to go back to an overnight stay site instead of a day use site.

LOVE staying at Mott. The sites are very reasonably priced and its always very easy to pop in and out with a lot of their pull through sites.

We love Mott park, it has the best boat ramp. Camp sites are nice also with a covered picnic table.

Was pretty full, but because of the small size of the park was never to noisy or busy, definitely going back
