I saw a grill but it looked like someone had abandoned it not like the ones you see at park #2 (unless I missed the other grill?). I like park #1 but the port-a-potty is not something I will go in. There is a Pilot gas station maybe 1/2 mile from there with a bathroom (so I would go there). Park #1 is smaller, more quaint, has a creek & a spring but only the one covered area. I will go to whichever one you guys choose. I guess I would say park #1 is more low tech & park #2 more high end (it is near the golf course, the Dogwood Trail etc).
