This is an Elks Lodge and is for Elk members only. The RV Park is dirt and gravel. We were here during a pretty good rain and it wasn’t too bad. It is very close to town, which makes it very easy to shop and do laundry. Also there are 2 nice Italian restaurants within walking distance. They have a 7 day max stay however you can stay longer if there are sites available. They are usually full on weekends so reservations are recommended. There is a Camp Host and Grounds Keeper in the park that are very friendly. This is a quiet park except for the occasional siren from the fire station across the street, not to bad. They have a huge covered patio area in the park with many picnic tables and a large BBQ and sink for group events. Next to the patio are horseshoe pits.
