The good: quiet at night, power and water at sites, some sites are on the river and some are in a grassy area, ones by the river have picnic tables, maintenance guy was friendly.
The bad: NULL a night is higher than it should be for what they offer. Entrance signage isn’t great and one of the entrances is a steep hill.
The ugly: trash. It’s all over the park. Some was recent, some was old, so obviously maintenance isn’t picking up litter at all.
Good for a short stay. Water and electric. Beautiful park.
Great RV Overnight! This city park is a perfect overnight stop. It a wonderful park with a community pool, playground, swings slides, and teeter toter. Plenty of room for the kids to run and play. The RV spots were right next to the river. You enter the park under a big wire sign. Once you go down the hill you will see the camping are off to your left. You turn left into the area which is shaped like an oval. The sites are pull over sites(not back up or pull through). It was super easy.
We called the town hall ahead of time to reserve our site. We paid NULL over the phone and they had a worker unlock our electric and water. When we arrived everything was all set.
*Be careful if you have pets, there were burrs everywhere in the park. We stuck to walking the down on the road, after she continued to have them in her paws.
Beautiful, fun park to have kids stretch their legs on our road trip. Park was very clean and welcoming, playground in great shape. We enjoyed it!
Great shaded and wide open spaces at this park. Younger kid and bigger kid friendly as well as some accessible play areas. Very nice and relaxing.
