Lots of nature too. Not like private parks. Hope you can check it out when it opens again. Thanks for always coming by. We appreciate it. Stay safe. Alice

Hi guys. Great tour of the park. We were there in December 2019 on Site 43. We loved the park. I would warn people with big rigs that the registration parking area is tight. We have a 43' 5th wheel and needed two side by side spaces in the parking area. Fortunately some people saw us drive in and knew we would need more space so offered to move for us. Other than that the place is very big rig friendly. We had a great time there doing lots of hiking on the trails. Your tour of the park brought back good memories. Thanks!

Hey. Good point. We try to show in the tour the roads. That way you know what your rig can handle. So hopefully someone will see this comment. Ours is only 35’ but we could see it could be tight. Some parks were built before the big rigs of today. Ever been to Hanna Park in Jacksonville? Now that is tough in big rigs 🤣. Thanks for sharing. Take care. Alice
