I'm not sure exactly what's going on at this state park. I realize it's being renovated but it seems like it's been left to the campers. The state receives a lot of tax dollars not to mention what they make off campers and they can't do no better (even with volunteers) than what they do to keep the state parks clean. Bathrooms are moldy and mildewed so what's the purpose in having them if no one wants to use them. I can see the campsites turning into homeless camps as long as the homeless can pay. Our tax dollars are paying for WHAT?
