Stayed here two nights at space #165. Site was dirt but fairly level. Some shade from trees. Picnic table has a covered canopy above it. Would have been a nice site except for three things. One was that it was dirty, lots of cigarette butts around and miscellaneous small bits of trash. Hadn't been raked in a long time. Second thing was right next to the dump portal was a tall pipe, maybe ten feet tall, that I assume was a sewer vent. Due to wind and weather, we had a constant smell of raw sewage around our motor home and inside when we had the windows open. Third thing was the ants. Bring lots of Comet or Ajax to put up barriers around every contact point of your RV. Would have asked for another site but the park was full. Will not be back again.

This is a very nice city owned park. It is a water reclamation facility that they have built a RV park around. It is a string of fishing lakes and the top 3 three loops are for RV's. The ground was kind of sandy. The bathrooms and showers were well taken care of; the only problem I had was with the water temp for the showers...not very hot, but hot enough. Good roadways for walking or bike riding around the lakes.
