The biggest thing this park is missing is sewer or at a minimum a dump station, thats why we rated Good, the tree at our site needed to be trimmed back as not to hit our roof, and while we could have likely selected another site the position of our site allowed us to stay connected well with Starlink and work, the park host was amazing and friendly and takes very good of the operations around the park!
