The main issue with McCown Valley park is that they don't have a gate code like other COE parks. A registered family member had to arrive late and couldn't get in which resulted in paying for a hotel stay. Also, the gate remained wide open all day which allowed non-campers to roam through the park. There were some unsavory characters that repeatedly cruised through the park every day that we were there which posed a safety issue. I understand that when you're short-staffed you can't tie someone up with gate-keeping all day--but a gate code, issued to campers on the confirmation email, would solve all these problems. I strongly suggest that you look into that. Because of this shortcoming, we probably won't be back.

Everything was fine but the grass was high. We were in the horse part /overflow so I get it’s not used that much but we wouldn’t sit around the fire pit with the high grass, we had seen two 4-5’ snakes on the road so it was a no go!

The whole point to coming down and camping was so that we could take our boat out and go fishing. The boat ramp was closed due to excessive rain, but we were not informed of this. So we showed up to our camping spot. We set up our camping spot and then I walked down to the boat ramp to find that it was closed and not accessible. So we loaded our boat back up onto the back of the truck and we loaded our camper back up and we headed back home, so we were not even there for an hour and yet we still paid for it. We were very unhappy with our attempted stay. As we were not informed of the current conditions of the park

The park was really nice and quiet. The lakes high water level had plenty of sites blocked off, but that made for many nice walks and bike rides having less distraction. This was a very peaceful place to camp. We were in site 19 and we sat and watched plenty of deer eating in the meadow across from our site while sitting by the fire.

Needed to be mowed and mowers came a day later. Someone was in our campsite when we arrived but when asked they left.

Park is nice. Great for a small rig. If you have a big rig, beware of low hanging limbs and tight sites and turns, especially on the east side of the park. Or just go to Whitney SP instead.
