From Melanie on 09/26/2010

We stayed there last Halloween. Pretty park, but very close to the highway and very small. Lots of non campers driving in and out to use the restrooms. Also, we were attacked by Mexican Beetles the last day we were there. There were literally hundreds of them all in our camper and all over our site. We're STILL finding them in our camper nearly a year later.
