While we love Barnes Park (having camped there for 33 consecutive years) there are some things that need to be addressed. 1) poison ivy around campsites 2) street lights much too bright after 11:00 PM 3) speed bumps must be painted yellow to increase visibility. We witnessed a camper coming unhook from the pickup pulling it because they hit the speed bump too hard 4) modern restrooms and showers added in the pavilion area. Get rid of the vault toilets! 5) I know the roads are being resurfaced this fall and the “one way” arrows need to be painted on road surfaces. 6) a system needs to be in place to allow potential campers to access campsites that are vacated by campers who don’t stay their whole reserved time. Same goes for folks who reserve for a week but don’t show up until the end of their week. All this being said, as I mentioned before, we love Barnes Park and hope to continue camping there for years to come. One more thing. I want to acknowledge the folks who work at Barnes Park. They are always so friendly and helpful. We appreciate them!
