Getting away from it ALL!
Chatting with others around camp, there is no cell service provider that functions in this park. The WIFI is shared between dozens of sites, and the absolute BEST speed I have ever seen here is a 14, and I only saw that once. WIFI tends to average right around 5mps. That's right, 5. There is no remote working out here, if your work requires any semblance of quality, which is really too bad; the rest of everything out here is WONDERFUL! Great neighbors, wildlife, the trail, fishing, boating, the playground... everything else is wonderful. I know we can do better for WIFIs. Fees were just increased again this year, surely we can afford a bit better than this!
Beautiful park but tight
This is a gigantic park with an amazing variety of activities. The park itself is gorgeous and beautifully maintained. Unfortunately, the RV park is quite cramped. The sites are somewhat modest in size and the one-way roads are narrow and unmarked. (Several times during our two-night stay, drivers were forced to pull off to permit a “wrong-way” vehicle to pass.) The park host is really helpful and hospitable. Unfortunately, the RV park has almost no signage and is a bit chaotic so the host is likely unable to maintain much order. If you’re traveling during an off-season period, this would be a beautiful destination. During peak times, it’s just too busy for our taste.
