"It's open to the public and people don't have any consideration for the rv parking slot. Staff couldn't tell me where the parking was or if the power towers were working?? I guess they had a lot of part time help, that had no idea there was RV parking. There is dry camping parking but very soft soil and not level. Even the few slots they have with power are not level"
