Hot and humid
I evidently chose the one site that has no daytime shade. There was shade early and late, but nothing in the middle of the day.
Crews were pruning a lot of dead branches in the park as well.
Access to water was not convenient unless you drove.
Most campers showed up in the evening. Campground was about 75% full by nightfall. Just up the road in Lewis and Clark SP. I drove through and it was pretty full.
All sites are electric. Fairly close together. Free showers were great to rinse off sweat from heat and humidity.
Oh yes - Fireflies!!
Great area
Really fun campground with parks for kids and nice green grass with tons of sports offerd
