We had a great time down at the park camping. Not over crowded. Well maintained. Bathrooms were well taken care of. Close proximity to the public pool(which is cheap!) Overall great experience. 2 downsides. 1, no online registration. 2, no firepits onsite. You could bring your own and your own grill though, which is what we did.
