No Good With Pet & No Tow

I’m a HUGE fan of state parks for camping . They are always my first choice. I saw the high ratings for this campground on various sites and thought we had a winner.

We reserved two nights through their website (which was a pain on our phones). Site 96 is in the pet area and is not waterfront. Even if it was waterfront, those sites are not for swimming.

We did not tow a vehicle behind our class c and have had zero issues this far on our trek across the US. However, the beach is not at all within walking distance. Sites are crowded and really tight. You have to pay $0.75 every time you go into the park. Campsite office was closed at 2 pm and we could not check in until noon.

So disappointed with this campground. If you bring a tow vehicle, I do not think you will have an issue…just tight spots and no fire rings (you can rent them by the night).
