Out birding early this season, we stopped at Tillebrook PP for the first time. As the camping season has not started, the main gate was closed. We parked in the day use area, which is excellent with picnic tables and nice parking areas, all paved. Walking through the park, I couldn't help but notice all trees were well taken care, with excellent tree pruning evident. The vegetation in the park is watered through an elaborate irrigation system. The campsites are sizable, a playground is easily accessible, and all roads through the park are paved. A walking trail is located just west of the park entrance administrative building. Although the birding on this trip wasn't great due to our early exploration and the migration to come hasn't happened we look forward to returning to this park later...

Overall nice campground, just sucks I paid for an ammenity I...
Read moreJesus Christ, we reserved our site for 3 days and we couldn't make it past day 2. Washrooms, locations, and shade isn't bad at all, but there is a serious problem here with mosquitos. I don't know if the people who work here spray bug killer or repellent or something, but it clearly isn't enough. Our entire family was swatting bugs for 90% of the "vacation" and we plan never to come back again. Trust me, we sprayed bug repellent, lit candles that repel bugs, and anything else you could think of. No use at all. Come here if you want to look like a full time...
