Was Disappointed/why so booked??
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/12/07
We have been trying to go camping here certain weekends etc booked for months,last min someone must have cancled so we booked and 2 days later went. So whats the Hype?, There are BETTER state parks! Its way too Small, I was shocked you are on top of each other no privacy at all. Got there had to wait for site 38 at 1PM they were not pulled out. Worker tried to talk me into another few no too close. For I wanted at least no one behind us.Many sites are right by the HWY. Ranger finally came wrote them up and the site next to them I am sure was mad at me for it was their friends. SIte 37 was pulling out to take a better site so he gave us our so at least we had some privacy but did not realize table had no table pad of gravel like the rest.( so when it rained Mon/ Tue our stuff was trashed. On our back porch now a wreck! They tried to talk me into site 55 while waiting. There was no fire ring you are near trash cans and they had bears at cans, off edge of lake traliers are parked there and pavilion. You have to walk your trash to big open cans well most state park you do not. NO SWIMMING.Trout area SO SMALL, kids age limit is too low. Told us no scooters yet 2 wks ago at another park it was okay, yet a kid hit an older man with her bike while we were there.*I read one comment here. Wine bottles were open at some tables!!! SO why is guy in last comment in trouble? Lady at front office would not open a box of ice cream cones for my daughter since her brother got last one. Said cannot open till some of the other 2 kinds were gone. THats older gals for you sorry but she is to please the Customer. When it rains just about every site in the middle area is flooded,mine had no gravel under table and mud flew up and got everything nasty,THey were Cleaning Bathroom each day 2 times thats a plus. Restraunts close about 2PM in the area.In Batesville there is a general store/ restraunt that only serves 2 nights but open up till 2 daily. There is another close to park by convienent store so have a plan if it rains bad one night and you cannot cook.( *they are not too helpful in that area* Close by headed towards Clayton is Lake Burton CAfe/ sports Bar. SO far my Vote is for Vogel, Ft. Mtn, AM. Falls, Red Top. There is some fishing on Wildcat Creek. This campground place is very small,smaller than Wal Mart! you could have some one on all 4 sides and be able to toss and apple to.
