We really like this park. They have some spots with full hookups in the front of the park. We have certain spots we try to get in to because they are larger and accommodate our big rig. Hard to get in to the park because of the way the reservations work but sometimes you can get lucky and get right in where you want to be. Best to make reservations as soon as they become available (6 months out). Walking distance to a nice restaurant and the museum and golf course next door. It has a nice park feel and some beautiful views.
