The park is beautiful. The site that I was assigned was unacceptable. I asked to be moved to another site. The staff was more than accommodating and snow blowed a new space for me. The manager became agitated and belligerent when he discovered that my 23 ft RV was in a space for a 40 footer. Even though they did not have a reservation to fill that space he told me that I would have to go back to the initial site or leave the campground. I chose to leave. I will not go back.
DO NOT CAMP HERE! Especially if you have kids, and especially if you don't have an RV. There is a night club that blasts music after dark. My kids and I can't sleep. This isn't even camping! I can see the traffic light on the freeway from my campsite! Half the campsites are empty and it's obvious why. This is the worst campsite ever!!!
Nice campgrounds even if it is in town. To bad that the dump station was closed for repairs. Otherwise would have stayed longer. Restrooms are clean and showers too.
