Super nice people, great park. And, it was a super busy weekend! Three people on the check-in desk to keep the waiting time down. Nice gift for the Fathers on Father’s Day. Sites are very close together, but fellow guests were super nice! One turned his lights on to help us when we pulled in late one night. We will return.
