Comments: 

This is still one of the nicest parks we have visited.  
 
The park has over a hundred sites divided up into individual loops with a bathhouse for each.  As this was Memorial Day Weekend, the bathhouse was as clean as can be expected, with plenty of hot water, but I noted that there was no heat or air conditioning, just open screen windows.  In  hot or cold weather some may find them uncomfortable.
 
The weather was beautiful!  We were able to swim a few times and met family and friends who were renting one of the cabins on the beach.
 
We did find that during warmer weather the bugs do come out.  Remember your bug sprays.  Additionally, if you camp with a dog check them regularly for ticks, they were out in force.
 
Patrols by ranges were plentiful.  We saw them driving around almost  the park 24 hours a day. New this year the rangers patrolled in vehicles, in golf carts, on an ATV and bicycles.
 
We enjoyed this park and plan to return again.
