Staying at McCown Valley park was fine. Getting there we had some truck issues and called ahead many time but no one answered or called us back after hours. We were 5 minutes late, we arrived at 10:05pm and could not get in the gate. We had to go sleep in our truck over night in a parking lot when we should have been able to get into the park. Don't try to call after hours and expect any response from anyone or the park host!

Arrived on a Sunday. Very hot day but reserve a spot with lots of trees. Could’ve used a good mowing and the lake was down a bit. Stayed in the campsite until Friday. Enjoyed our time there.

Good swimming spots. Ice machine outside of park. Parking spots weren't very level but manageable.

It was a very hot week Luckily, we had a spot that had shade. My only complaint would’ve been that they need to mow the grass.

Although this was a very nice site on the lake with a sandy beach, it was not pet friendly. Every time our dogs came out of the trailer, they were covered in burs. I know times are hard with limited funds and staffing, but this park needs some love.

We always love taking our horses here and camping overnight. I wish they had the second, horse entrance available for entry and exit.

Our neighbors were smoking illegal substances and it smelled awful. It would t have bothered me so much if the didn’t have small children along with my own toddlers who wanted to know where the skunk was. We decide to put up a small pool for the kiddos to play in. One park ranger came around and said it was ok. Then a few hours later another one came and said we were exhausting resources and needed to take it down. We probably used more water using the bathroom and showering between a family of 5 than what was even in the kiddy pool. The bathrooms had no toilet paper and the grass needed a mowing. Probably won’t be back. Awful experience for first time park campers.
