Customer Reviews
We didn’t even make it into the park. At the front gate, a man from the Department of Forestry told us they were full and to come back later. I asked him what time we should return, and he replied, “I don’t know. How am I supposed to know when people leave the beach?” Long story short, he accused me of having an attitude and said “my kind” wasn’t welcome, telling us not to come back. Like, I don’t even know what that means? Tall and handsome? I was with my pregnant wife and our 4-year-old daughter, so yeah, this racist guy from the Department of Forestry tried to ruin our 3-hour road trip to the state park, but he didn’t succeed. We had a blast anyway! And to the out-of-shape worker with his crusty feet out in sandals and a beat-up work truck: get back to work, buddy.
