After long day on the road, had booked this spot as a short one night stay. Arrived in somewhat late about an hour before sun down. First of all, very limited signage as to which way was where on the roads. I eventually found the marked spot and proceeded to back in. This was ridiculously tight spot for what they said would fit a 30 foot RV. Anyway, I had no option but to drive on the grass and slowly back in. Complicating matters was a huge tree on one side of the site that was leaning deeply into the road on one side and a huge boulder/rock on the other side. Seriously, WHY????? Anyway, after 5-10 minutes of easing in there, I realize (as others have pointed out) they put the hook ups on the wrong damn side of the campsite!! I confirmed later with my receipt this was considered a back in site for this size of RV. I can promise you, there is no way to back in without driving quite a ways onto the grass into another person’s camp site to maneuver in there. And man it’s treacherous given the trees and boulders on each side of the lot. So, anyway, to avoid going all night without my electrical hook up (end of June), I pulled back out, went back around and came back to pull in and park forward instead of backing in so I could access the electric. Swinging as wide as I could without hitting the boulder on the driver's side, I thought I was clear of the massive hanging trunk of a tree on the passenger side (see picture), but NO. As I pulled in, the trunk, scraped the top side of the RV which bent the awning and snapped off the cell booster mounted to the ladder. The awning was still usuable but eventually the fiberglass portion of the roof was starting to separate where the damage occurred. Clearly, given what other reviewers have said, they simply don't care about the people's property or safety in this park. I'm not sure if it's because it's owned by the state and thus a "state job" or what, but this was beyond negligent. At the very least, they should mark this site for tents or cut back the damn tree!! Not only is it a hazard for RV's, it will be a hazard in a severe lightning/wind storm one day and this lack of caring will not only destroy property but is likely to get somebody hurt. I really can't think of a positive thing to say about this place. Oh, and $53 for ONE NIGHT? I've stayed in many state parks for a quarter of the price (or less) with much better amenities and location that won't damage your vehicle due to negligence. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I'd rather stay in a Walmart parking lot. Safer and free without the headache!
