The place is really clean. The people at the desk were really nice. The pool and hot tub were taken care of. The shower and laundry room were clean. The only problem I had was not many activities for long term stay.

This is an okay RV park. There's lots of room, full hook-ups, and it's on the Colorado River. However, when we stayed here, people with their power boats were constantly reving up their engines, and it was way too loud, and management did nothing to curb the noise. In addition, each night, we stayed here, just after dark, fireworks started going off, and it scared our dog. This was not appreciated.
