There are two playgrounds--one for smaller kids and one for kids 3 and up--with soft ground so if they fall, no scraped knees. It's very kid-friendly and well-designed. They also have pickleball courts and a skate park. The skate park is always full of happy, laughing kids--never seen any issues. Pickleball can get busy, so if you want to play, try going early or in the late afternoon. I've heard the regulars are friendly, so just let them know you want to join and it shouldn't be a problem. There are shaded tables, BBQ areas, and plenty of space to relax while the kids play. People there are always friendly, and we've had nothing but good experiences so far. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking to enjoy some time outdoors!

The staff that puts on the classes are so friendly and helpful and really make sure to give the kids a special time. The table games for the older kids are well kept up and the space is a good size for the events they have. The library is right next to it as well in the same building so that's a plus as well. The park is fun and keeps the kids occupied and it's a great space for parties. I haven't taken the kids to skate park yet so I can't speak on that but it always sounds like people are having a good time.

We've been coming to this park since 2018. It's a lovely quick get away not far from home…read more Campground Hosts are ALWAYA, kind, welcoming, accommodating and helpful. Just really nice people. However, through the years, the neglect of this park is starting to show dramatically. Roads are torn up, overgrown trees oftentimes scratch RVs and way too many stray cats. Our last two visits with friends were ruined due to faulty electrical equipment but worst of all sewage backup into the camp site. This is unacceptable but more importantly, pretty sure the health department would find this to be in several violations. We would be so disappointed to have to stop coming here but these issues are happening at different sites, not sure we want to be part of a crap shoot. SJ Parks department, please do better for your customers. UPDATE: Someone came and sprayed the area. All he accomplished was to spread the sewage leak to a bigger area of the campsite. EWWWWW
