Needs attention

Nice little RV Park if your goal is to be in town & close to the amusement park. Amenities need attention. Laundry is pricey & not up to their price point. Shower facilities are dirty & need maintenance. Bugs in the showers etc..

Beautiful stream camping

Lots of creepy crawlers.
The stream is refreshing and the site stays fairly cool. When it’s hits the high temperatures a quick dip in the water is amazing. The site is public access and there are lots of hikes, joggers, and people expecting you not to be camping. I was woke up every morning by people walking through the site but the conversation were friendly and pleasant. I’d love to camp there again in a pinch.
