We seemed to always be rushing for time to get to our RV sites and this was no exception. I called up tp the office and told them I would be coming in late and they said, "no problem". I was given instructions for after hours check-in and made it just before closing. The staff was super nice and helpful.

Our site was fairly level and right across the road from Hero Water Park. We had a nice view of the lake and enjoyed the quietness and birds. The parks was free from trash, grass mowed and generally overall well maintained.

Our site had a good canopy of trees so it really never got too terribly hot. I would definitely RV here again.

Our cell coverage was fair at 2-3 bars but it was enough for us to stream movies. :)
