Lots of tall grass and stickers. The place really needs to be mowed. Bathrooms were also dirty.

As usual the park was nice, however different gate attendants at check out that were not so welcoming as the attendants that were there at check in. Started driving through staring at all the campsites that were leaving on Sunday about 11:00 and as we were hitching up the trailer at 1:45 stopped to ask if we were leaving (pretty obvious) then went on to berate me that check out was 2:00 and she had "campers at the gate sweating and tired of waiting to get in" even though CHECK IN was not till 3:00. I found this completely unnecessary and oddly enough as we pulled out the gate at 2:00 there was NO ONE WAITING TO GET IN! Definitely a surprise given the kind interactions we normally have here.

Wonderful site, and spacious. excellent value for the price.
Friendly staff, and easy to use keypad, for the security gates.
Missed the ability to add the fifth star, because of the litter, and unclean area the previous campers left behind.
some time spent cleaning, and the natural beauty was everywhere. A family of deers were the days comedians, and by night the mischievous bandits of the woods, stole (along with many other things) plenty of forgetful camper's, snacks. Left out on the beautiful provided, picnic tables.
definitely a great family park.

The grounds were in bad need of mowing. Grass and weeds in some areas up to my knees.
The gate attendees are not the friendliest. We had some machinal issues with the vehicle we use to pull our travel trailer. We informed them around 8:30 am that we had problems and they said the gate house doesn't open until 10:am so they could not tell us if anyone was coming into our spot until after then. I'm sure they could have been a little more helpful and check before 10. Finally called us around 11:30 to let us know someone would be checking in and we need to be out by 2:00. By then we had already made arrangements to have both of our vehicles towed.
My husband actually saved someone's life who had overdosed in the men's restroom. Never saw the gate attendees show up at the scene. So it was not the best trip we have had at your facility.
