What Our Visitors Say
In the shadow of the Wahatoyah
This is a very neat, well-kept park. The owners are pleasant and helpful. So much so, we were wondering if the lady who checked us in might be the
president or chairman of the local chamber of commerce. They have a packet of information about sights, activities, dining, and so on in the local area.
