    I was wanting a site with full hookup my daughter has lot 35 or 36 and I would like one near her are there any that are full up close to them sites could you give me a email back with price I’m want it for july the 9 they 12 my trailer is 32 ft long

  3. We stayed at site 15 for two nights. Site is on the lake with steps dug out for lake access. Our only complaint was that 2 women, their 3 children and with their dog decided that the area directly in front of us was a perfect place to stay all day. Played the radio loudly and swearing at the kids. I know it’s picky but come on!

  4. Ashley Layton says:

    If we check in our campsite on time
    And then leave can we return at 10pm
    Or so? Or do gates close into the park?

  5. Courtney says:

    We are going to trailer our boat and camp. Can we leave our boat on the shore at night or do they have to be pulled out? Is there space to park the trailer for the night next to the camp sites? thanks.
