Best sites are for seasonal campers

The best sites are reserved for seasonal campers by the month. Not many level sites as most are on a hill. Lake is nice but no swimming is allowed. Bathrooms are very small and consist of only 2 showers and useable but not that great. This was a private campground that the county took over. They need to out some money into this park and it would be a great place. If they would level the sites and put in a new and good size bath house, it would receive better reviews. But for now, it's mainly used by locals to camp for the season.
