we had a very good time, unfortunately the electricity went off but was repaired in a reasonable amount of time. We did alot of hiking. Would definitely like you to add bicycle trail for children.

Asphalt parking pad surrounded by grass
Non moveable metal frame wooden picnic table on an oversized concrete slab
Metal fire ring with cooking grate

Quiet
Good night sky viewing as there are no street lights in park and shower/toilet facility had minimum lighting

Cons
Campers ignore basic rules/courtesy such as keeping dogs on leash and letting children run thru everyone’s campsites
Entrance gate unmanned (closed) 24/7 so lots of “drive-by” gawkers in the campground
Non campers consistently showered in the campground showers facilityGates to campground not locked overnight
TP not available in women's restroom SWEETGUM most of the 2 nights of our stay
No security drive-throughs by park staff
Unlevel parking pad Site #4
No privacy from any other campers as there is absolutely no brush/vegetation between sites
No firewood for sale in park
Non-climate controlled shower/toilet building, but did have a box fan sitting on the floor running
Site picnic table at the rear of the site and it was anchored to the concrete pad
