Impressions

This was just a quick overnight stay for us, so we didnโ€™t have too much time to soak in the experience. But what we did experience was certainly fine for a nightโ€™s stay. Some sites appeared unleveled, but ours was fine. Also, if you want to access the cable TV, you need to ask the office for a cable box. We didnโ€™t know that until after the office had closed for the day, so it would have been good if the office staff had advised us of this during check-in.

There arenโ€™t many tourist destinations right there by the park, but your options open up greatly if youโ€™re open to โ€œan hour or so awayโ€ drives.
