First, I really enjoyed spending time at the park and having time to participate in day and night activities. I was aware that there was no air conditioning. Thankfully, I took a battery-operated fan for this trip. There was no ceiling fan. Also, the power was out for some of our stay, the Wi-Fi was out most of the time. On my last day, I found out there had been a problem with the power for two weeks. This was not communicated me. I regularly camp, so fortunately, I had stuff in my trunk like lights, cook system, solar batteries, and etc to make my family comfortable.
