Tip for Other Campers:

Weekends can be chaotic, holidays are worse. Gas Station across the street from the park, but not RV friendly. Hill Top restaurant nearby. If you're craving pizza, Trailhead Pizza is close by too but it if you go into town you will get a lot better pizza (a frozen pizza tastes better).

Close to downtown with shopping and entertainment. I had a great time at the Blockhouse. An 8 piece band played and rocked the house. Very friendly crowd.
