We felt like we were cramped. The camper next to us had three big dogs. One time coming back from a walk one of the big dogs broke the cable he was on. He didn't bite me but I didn't like it. They asked if we were ok and I said yes, things happen. They kept a closer watch on him after that. We liked the park and will probably come back but try the west overlook.
