This park and RV parked absolutly beautiful. The RV sites are big and level. The laundry facility was very difficult to find but machines are up to date. One note is that the gate locks at night and you need to unlock it every time.

My kid loves their playground, open to the public. Some features need some maintenance, but in general, it's a very good experience. The bathrooms are well-maintained.

Nice level camping spots, limited nighttime lighting so you can enjoy the stars, very clean, great water pressure and hot water in the showers. Clean laundry room in a great state of repair. Price is great! Definitely will be returning next year!
