No Picnic Table
A new casino is being built beginning Summer 2023 with expected completion in 2025. We were told the majority of the campsites and cabins will house the construction workers for the casino project.
PROS
Prearrival text regarding checkin and checkin documents left at campground sign, but it had rained and documents were unreadable

Over 65 and veteran discount
Site 312 concrete pad level
Site 312 paver patio surrounded by sand and weeds, but most sites had manicured grass.
Nicely spaced sites.
Very clean bathhouse during the week.
5 washers and 5 dryers at $2 each in Park laundromat. Office sells quarters.
Quiet.
Saw Seminole police patrolling frequently

CONS
No security gate so LOTS of drive-bys
30amp breaker overheated and tripped 3 times during our 7 night stay
Site 312 absolutely no shade
Not permitted to select site online when making reservations
Absolutely no bathhouse cleaning Saturday and Sunday so by Sunday evening it was pretty nasty
Price increase 8/1/22 that we had to pay even tho we made reservations during March 2022
Need to bring-your-own fire ring, but wasn't informed of this requirement until we arrived
No picnic table at site upon arrival. Notified camp office who advised one would be provided first thing next morning by park maintenance.
Day 2. No table. Stopped by camp office right before noon and reported no table delivered to site. Then the excuses started from Jodi, the park manager…only one maintenance man…picnic tables are disappearing overnight and that’s a problem…now have 3 sites that need a picnic table…staff believes other campers see a unoccupied site and drag table to their site…there were 63 tables when the season started… No mention of when picnic table will be delivered to site. We offered to help get it. Told maintenance man is working on it.
Day 3. No table.
Day 4. Stopped by office at 9am for an update on when to expect a table. Spoke with Jodi again. She had no update. Same excuses as I heard on Day 2 but she did mention that NEXT YEAR she was going to need to anchor the tables at each site so they don’t disappear. I mentioned seeing 4 tables at the firepit area. She said we are welcomed to take a table from the community firepit area and move it to our campsite but those are needing replacement boards badly(her words).
Never got a table. Just too heavy for us to drag one from the firepit area to our site, which was a bit more than a half block and the maintenance man never delivered one.
