GuideQuiet park on a lake
Nice COE park on a lake. Beautiful views, but lots of fire ants.
Low tree branches just after the gate. Scratched the sides of our rig (full body paint). Some lower tree branches on corners. Use caution with a rig greater than 12’ high around corners.
ScoutVery strict check in
Campsites are in great condition. The lake is very very low. Lots of deer. But don’t try to get in early. They are very strict and won’t allow any check ins until after 2:00 pm.
