Nothing to write home about

I stayed one night and I was glad to leave the next day. It wasn’t a bad park, just not overly enjoyable. My site had a great view of the lake, which was by far the best part; the sunset was stunning! There is little privacy between most sites, but luckily my spot only had a neighbor on one side and trees/shrubs on the other. I also wonder how well they regulate how many people/vehicles are allowed per site, as I saw at least 6 different people next to me with two trucks, a motorcycle, a camper, and a tent; they’re smaller sites so they were usually within a few feet of my camper. I had decent AT&T service and the bathrooms (by the guest center, if you miss them on the way in like I did) were older but acceptably clean. You can fish and kayak/boat on the lake and the dinosaur tracks looked interesting, but I didn’t have time to visit them and it was beastly hot. My biggest callouts are that the 10 mile road the to the park is in horrible condition and has a lot of 90 degree turns and the park itself is not very handicap friendly as it’s poorly paved/rocky/uneven. It was good for a night but I would not return.
