Wouldn't waste my time, or risk my camper again. The electricity is completely junk. First most of the sites are 20 amps with 30 amp plugs no 50 amp service. I had two sites and burned up both meters, a third one burnt while i was there. Someone needs to report them the whole place isnt up to code. On the other side of things it is really quiet, and most of the people are really nice.

Tucked away and private, it's a nice park. Mostly regulars that are extremely neighborly and helpful if you have any problems. When we stayed it was $15 a night. 30 amp service (not sure about 50 amp), and water. Not a lot to do, but relax. Great place to park for a few nights and meet people. Many have group campfires, and you can just grab a chair, and join in! We pulled in last weekend, and I had a problem with my power distribution box. Within 15 minutes of asking someone for help, I had 4-6 people looking at it, and giving me advice how to repair it. Very friendly bunch. Happy to share advice and new ideas with other RV'ers. Great Verizon and AT&T service. Not really good Sprint. 3-4 local digital channels received, but we were there for the conversations, not the TV. My only neg comments, After it rains, the ground gets a little soggy, and the guest spaces are on grass. The dump station is free, but difficult for larger RV's to get to as it's way in the back. There is a very nice dump station at Love's a few miles away for only $5. Outside of that, I highly recommend this little getaway.

Gross. Tent camping area was amid the acorns and mud. Picnic tables are in disrepair. We tent camped and there was one fire pit for all the tent camp sites, we were the only one there however and I can see why. Playground was dangerous and covered with spider webs, equipment falling apart. Bathroom was so rusty and disgusting I wouldn't even use it. And I have been in some pretty rustic places this is the worst. Get a tetanus shot if you plan to camp here
