Paved pull thru spots. Water and electric with a dump station onsite. Nice showers with hot water. If you're into hiking, there are a lot of trails.

Check in is easy, sites are drive-through, or you may get a back-in with deep woods right behind you: most private. Water is available at the office building spigot.

So glad it's open again! And so glad they didn't replace the legendary metal slide with all of the renovations they've done. Though I do not enjoy the newly paved road that runs right through the area at the front of the park where we used to love to check out the trees or toss a ball around. Restrooms are only open during camping season, so if you like to frequent parks in the off-seasons like we... So glad it's open again!

Computers down no backup system. Paper pen? How can you just shut door and say oh well? People have reservations and others need a spot. Very disorganized.
