You can call ahead to make reservations at this campground. We arrived a day early & parked in Overflow @ $5 for one nite - lots of room (in a paved parking lot) to spread out. The next day we previewed the site we were assigned & saw we would never be able to negotiate our assigned site (a narrow, cresent-shaped pull-thru amongst trees) without problems. Back at the Check-in Desk we were dealing with one of the Outdoor Rec crew who admitted she'd never even been back in the campground & relied on the computer for all info. Thank goodness my spouse was able to work successfully with her in juggling around some other site assignments and the staff person eventually agreed to place us in a waterfront site the computer told her could only accomodate an RV not-to-exceed 33'. We had eyeballed the site ahead of time & were convinced not only could our 40' back in comfortably but our tow vehicle could pull in front at a slant with room off the road to boot. Our experience proved right in the long run. In the end it worked out to our satisfaction and, for even making the effort, I give the Facility a straight "4". A higher grade of 5 would have been possible if the staff serving the RVing public had hands-on knowledge & familiarity with the specific sites and, based on personal experience, were capable of assigning the best-possible site for each Rv. We would return to this Travel Camp again if we were in the area.
