Quiet and relaxing. Great for families.
Dear Parks and Recreation,
I appreciate the opportunity to know your town. However, we will be cutting our visit short and leaving today because of the issues below. This is what I posted on google reviews for camping at Irwin Park:
PROS: $15/night, electric and water sites, dump station, river, playground, short walk to town. Cops patrol the site three times per night. The only highlight of the town was Not Just Popcorn, a global seller of 400+ flavored popcorns.
CONS: High crime rate. Deliberately parked us next to a derelict RV, who had visitors wielding a sword and axes, cigarette smoke smell from the derelict RV, AC running 24x7. Smelled like garbage. I initially parked one space over from the derelict RV, to put some much needed space between us and the smell, the constantly running AC and the eyesore, but was told to move to the next site. We reluctantly complied. See photo.
Edinburg had many neglected buildings. Neighbor said there was drug activity about 200ft from RV campsite. Had to clean up trash around our site. Many cigarette butts around the sites. No river walk. Bike path was only .1 milesunusable. Did not really appreciate food or atmosphere of The Edinburgh Diner. It was not the "Greek Restaurant" I thought.
My wife Deb hurt her foot on a sidewalk in Edinburgh because it was neglected. It had a mixture of leaves and stones, making it hard to navigate the sidewalk. Because of this, Deb overturned her ankle and initially thought we would have to see a doctor. Felt better after three days.
Riverside park with jungle gym, large picnic shelter (15 picnic tables or so), 5-10 RV hookups, 2 port-o-pots, and large field areas. Squirrels seemed genuinely surprised to see me, belying the quaint nature of this community park.
This place reminds me of my childhood love it here!
Not great camping.
GOOD PLACE TO CAMP ,WATER AND ELECTRIC HOOK UP, KIDS PLAY GROUND,
Needs more shaded areas on the playground.
Small park. A good place for picnic. There is a playground and basketball court
We were across from the bathroom
