Campsite	B+	Site 296 - Taylor Electric. Very well maintained. Nice view of a ravine. Asphalt pad. This site was steep with no flat place for the table. Fire pit was broken.
Restrooms	A	Clean and very good for state park restrooms. Good temperature in shower. Benches.
Trails	C	I'm sure they have good trails, but we only saw trail 9 and it was totally uneventful. It was dry out and the only item on the trail of interest, the stream, was dry.
Campstore	B	Very well appointed. Coffee was mediocre.

Campsite	C+	Site 174 - electric - sites are close together and this site was particularly difficult to back into. Noisy. Unfortunately a there was a large party across the road and it was very loud. It was a deep, yet narrow site with no slope.

Restrooms	C+	clean, but poorly designed. Showers are in a different room from the toilets and you must go outside to move from one area to the next. Odd problem, the showers were too HOT. No benches to put your stuff on.
Trails	B	short, but well maintained. Good rugged trails.
Campstore	C	Campstore is run out of concession stand at park pool. Not very convenient.
