I would say location is nice, because it puts you in proximity to a lot of things. Campground amenities for the price, is not reasonable at least when I came a few weeks ago. I understand that the pool would not been filled yet, however, still for the price I was a little letdown. The person in the check-in office was nice, respectful, courteous, and prompt. I also did not like that. They charged five dollars a day for a firing that you have to take to your campsite yourself. Being in the middle of a city, it was still pretty quiet for the most part. However, some other long-term campers put large items near the trash cans, which made it look a little gross. The shower house and restrooms were not clean, barely operational. However, they did have constant hot water, which was nice. I gave it a three stars simply because of the location and the person working at the check-in office. The signage could be better and the upkeep and maintenance definitely needs to be improved.

Stayed here with my friends here for Fourth of July and the memories are hitting. Great place for kids and adults. There is an empty lot where I played wiffle ball, and I never had that much fun. While we play the parents can crack open a cold one and chillax. Best place for Fourth of July. Terrible Wi-Fi though. 3/5

We spent 5 months here. Overall, it was a good experience. The shower houses are spotless. Very surprised how clean they are.

Very expensive for what you get. The signage is poor. You have to check in at the hotel but there isn’t really parking for campers and it is very easy to accidentally turn into the amusement park. There was only one worker at the desk so check in took forever. Then she gave me a map and told me to go find it myself. Told us we had to wear the wristbands even though none of the attractions were open. We requested a pull through and they gave us a pull in. Sites are run down. Many campers even more so. Lots of broke equipment around. Good amount of road noise

To call this a campground is a joke, its rundown, no camp office to check in, lots of derelict campers full time, sketchy looking fellow campers. Plus you have to check in at hotel lobby & getting in & out of their parking lot isn't conducive for big rigs! And absolutely no communication amongst desk employees. Our 1st site we discovered after being fully set up was without electricity & after being on hold for well over 30 minutes, we went back to lobby, was informed no maintenance person available so we had to move to another site, no offer of discount or anything, just sorry. We had 2 sets of friends also camping with us & on their arrival they were put in our original non working electric site...WTH?!?! 🤬And they waited on the phone forever, went up to office, waited thru the crowd & were given a site we had asked for & told it wasn't available šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøAnd when our other friends arrived they were sent to at least 4 or more sites which were all occupied šŸ¤”Since there's no one checking the sites, no one at the gate checking parking permits ANYONE can drive in & park, pathetic! For the price we paid we expected a heck of a lot better!!! I strongly urge no one use this campground unless you want a freebie 😣

Management was very nice and extended my stay for longer than I expected to stay for work. I do appreciate all their help. The staff was awesome with customer service! I will stay here again if I'm in the area.

It was much better than I expected. I didn't want to stay here, but other places were full. I was concerned about camping next to an amusement park. I expected lots of kids running around and noise from the park. We did have either of those. I rarely ever heard the park. The sites are pretty easy to get in and out of. The park is mostly set up as circle drives off of a main loop. The pool was great. Club house was clean and hand a laundry facility. Many seasonal campers, many of whom work in the park and receive a free site for the year. We will stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. I'd give it 4.5 stars because it's pretty basic. The campground was clean, pool was clean and nice, but closed a little too early. They use lifeguards at the campground pool. The restroom shower house facility by our site was really nice, like it had been redone recently. Checking in at the Inn was easy and the employees there as well as at the park were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed Adventureland park and campground, and would visit again if we are ever in the vicinity.
