We have been camping there yearly for some time and even have our favorite place. The park is always clean and seeing the local police and park rangers patrol is comforting. The bathrooms that were put in was the best idea ever. I dont worry about my kids in the bathroom, with the locked door they are safe. Give the place a try.

We have been going out there for ages the kids love it as much as we do. It is great getting away for the day or camping for the week It has become our favorite places to go and explore and the paved hiking path is great!
