We loved it because they were mostly closed and the owner let us in anyway (end of October) Water was off (but we had enough) and 50 amp was available. The center portion has two rows for transients (I guess, we were the only ones), grass pads. The other three rows were full of seasonal RVs, all having decks, cabanas, and PVC pipes to the dumps. Judging from the materials and RVs here I would say this is a well loved and appreciated RV destination. If you arrive at night be careful or you'll miss the entrance. We did it twice. A little reflective tape on the park sign would help or an expanded Google map on your cell phone 😉

The park has the basics for a decent price. No fancy amenities but thats ok. Everyone is very nice there. The bathrooms are old but very clean. Quite a few long term campers but also quite a few spots for daily summer campers. Right across the street from a boat launch which is helpful if you're planning to do any boating.
