We stayed a couple weeks in March, site 199. Lots of campground loops in this park, and we had full hookups. The sites around us were wooded, and I noticed a lot of the sites are pretty unlevel. Ours was good enough. I'm sure this place gets crazy and loud in summer with weekenders boating etc.

Lovely short trails around to walk the dog or you could just walk the park on the paved roads - I easily got in my 5 miles a day.

I really loved being in nature while visiting a friend, and we'd stay there again.

*While the price was $31.50 a night, you also have to pay for your vehicle. Because we stayed 2 weeks, it was cheapest to get a yearly pass, which was $125.

I don't recommend getting mail here: the people at the gate say yes to mail, the people at the office say no. I got 3 things mailed there, and got 2 out of 3 (who knows what happened to the 3rd, which said it arrived just a couple days into our stay, but I never got it.)

INTERNET HORRIBLE
Somehow hubby made it through the 2 weeks, as he works full-time from the camper. 2 days he had to go work in his car by the office, which has better internet. I don't remember the speedtest numbers, but we had to use ATT hotspot - Verizon hotspot didn't work at all. I was taking live Zoom classes during the day, but had to miss class those two weeks. Streaming Netflix etc in the evening was touch and go - sometimes we could, mostly we couldn't. This was during a time of year that the park was pretty emptied out on weekdays, so it wasn't due to others trying to stream etc. in the evenings.

Couldn't really talk on the phone while in the park - lucky to talk a minute here and there and then they couldn't hear me.

We stayed here for a month ($540), and loved it. Safe, pretty view of the lake, little dog park (be careful with the ball - we lost one in the lake!), nice people, pretty much level space. Stayed in April, and the rain drainage was pretty good. 2 washer and dryers worked okay, everything clean, hang out space inside with a kitchenette. Didn't use the showers, but everything kept clean. I walked the dog every day in the neighborhood, plenty of little side roads out to the lake to get my 5 miles in. Loved the central location, to Central Ave, shopping, Botanical Gardens, Mt Ida crystal mining etc.

THE PROBLEM: INTERNET
Hubby works full-time, and luckily it was good enough for coding and Zoom meetings. I was unable to work except early morning while hubby wasn't working. Speedtest on Verizon hotspot like 2 up/down or worse, and ATT hotspot was a little better, able to stream Netflix etc. in the morning, but never in the evening.
