OVERALL RATING:  6.5 out of 10

The campground is in the National Park.  However, there just isn’t much to do within the park.  It has a short hiking trail and a boat launch.  To be fair, the weather was not the best while we were there.  The single bathhouse was very outdated and overused.  The floors were almost always wet from the showers.  However, you can’t beat the price and proximity to the casino strip if you’re into the gambling/ buffet scene.
