This is a real nice place. The views are very peaceful. There are 7 lakes in all, 2 of them have campsites along their edge. The other camp area has a stream running through it. The other lakes are for day use. Fishing is allowed with a permit purchased at the office. The staff is nice and friendly and volunteers operate most functions. It is located near shopping and many restaurants. Residential areas surround the lakes and houses can be seen around the outskirts of the park, however this does not detract much from the serenity of the lakes. They allow semi long term stays (6 months) and have restrictions on what can and cannot be left around the RVs. All long term sites are very neat and clean.
