Mosquitoes everywhere

I have never camped somewhere, where there were so many mosquitoes! More then average to say the least. The park flooded awhile bavk which made the parks dept. have to clean up the park (it was pretty bad). It's a clean park, not very many campsites, an the river is low which makes it good for kids. Other than the massive amounts of mosquitoes the park is good.
