I visited Mott Park as a test for my first camping trip with my new Casita trailer. I live in Ennis so it was close to home. Clad, Jody, and Melissa the park volunteers were wonderful, helpful and giving as I had some camping issues. They were there to assist.

It was nice that there was more activity at the park and lake itself. This shows that the upkeep has improved. I would recommend that the USCE spend some funds on road maintenance and maybe one or two more garbage sites rather than the one by the entrance. Also, are they running short on gate entrance attendants?
