Although we avoid RV parks bc of the culture, we needed a stop so we stayed here one night en route. Even though the camp was filled with huge RVs, all sorts of toys, and kids, it was quiet and clean, and everyone was nice, including the staff. We had water and electric hookup, and there are also sewer hookups (which we don’t have). The bathrooms are clean, and they have nice (pay) showers, and (pay) laundry. The only minor quibbles are: 1. No campfire ring at our site 2. Bathrooms are locked overnight 3 and even the shadiest spots get full sun at noon. You can read about the park itself in other reviews. Being quarters!

Great park with camping and water access. It's a bit rocky to enter the water but kept clean. It has bathroom and shower facilities. Great that there is a limit to number of campers so it's not crowded at all.
