Amenities ruined it. Bathroom/showers are Nasty

Wanted to like this place because the staff was super accomodating and nice and they have some grass sites, but I am not sure how this place gets such good ratings. 

This place is way overpriced for the amenities which need serious updating.

- You get bamboozled by the clean check-in, store& laundry which are inviting and then you see the rest of the place.

- Their"sparkling clean" showers/restrooms were so gross and trough style so you would be showering in someone else's grime even with flip flops.

- The cable was spotty and kept going in and out from clear to pixelated most of the time.

- Couldn't play horseshoes because they were missing 2 horseshoes.

- Couldn't play cornhole because they were missing a beanbag.

- The laundry room was super clean, but it was$7($3.50 each) to do a load.

- The pool was very outdated& super loud if any kids were in it(it echoes because it is indoors and you can't hold a conversation).

- The pool is cold even though they say it is heated. It is okay to put your feet and legs in for a quick cool off, but you can't swim in it long. They set it at 80 degrees and there is no sun to counteract the cold because it is indoors. The proper temperature for elderly and children is from 84 to 94 degrees. 80 Degrees is for competition swimmers to keep them chilled and stimulated. I wonder if the managers have ever swam in the pool to see how cold it really is. 

The pool was the only reason we booked this park so we wasted 3 nights here and paid almost$55 a night for a parking spot. The staff, grass sites, the trees gives this the extra star otherwise it would be a one star based on the pool& amenities. 

Overall, we would not recommend this place if you want to use the facilities. If you are just passing through and need a spot for a night I would not recommend it either because it is so overpriced(there is BLM land all around the caverns for an overnighter).
