March 13 Terrible facility!!!! Wall Doxey!!!! by Skip from Cordova
park review stars; one to five Typically when I drive through a park and see a lot of equipment (trucks and vehicles) I also expect to see an immaculate facility!! Not the case at Wall Doxey!!! This place is terrible!! I went through the bath houses and several of the commodes are inoperable with water continuously running, but will not flush!! The front bath facility smells of rot, mold and mildew!! Driving through the camp ground I noticed one car with flat tires... all 4 flat tires!!! You can tell it has been there for quite some time!! There is another site in the first loop that has a chevy nova and and engine stand next to a tent!!! He is changing out the engine to his nova right there in the camp grounds!!! Then there was another with 2 tents and milk crates stacked up... I believe they were cooking meth!!! Poorly managed site!!! Makes you wonder where the funds have gone for this facility because they obviously are not being put into maintaining the facility!! This place needs a total clean up!!! No wonder when I look at Wall Doxey on reserve america, there are always a lot of available spots!! Nobody wants to camp at this facility because it is terrible!!
