We’re currently staying in the largest cabin. The park is beautiful and staff is great, however I do have some complaints. First, we paid for the larger cabin because it came with a pull out bed and we needed the space. When we got here, we found out that the pull out couch doesn’t work, so our daughter who was also the birthday girl today wasn’t even able to come because she wouldn’t have had anywhere to sleep. Second, the Wi-Fi doesnt work 90% of the time. My autistic 6 year old has been crying most of the time we’ve been here due to the TV not working and her tablet not working. And last, the “carnival games” was just a baby sized ring toss that even my 6 year old wasn’t interested in. Our kids were pretty disappointed in that. The playground and sandbox are great! And the site is beautiful.

Secluded, but close to amenities. The entire park was kept clean and the activities are fun for all ages! Unfortunately the cabins are not pet friendly, but the camp sites are.

Are agency reserved this location for a summer monthly outing, we had several different prices for the same cabins charge to our account, when we were told we were being credited for cabins that was not used we were not, there was nowhere for our individuals to eat so we had to rent a tent that cost over $800 for each event most of the activities was for pay, and we was treated like they didn't want us there. I was extremely disappointed. We will not be back, Kathy was very nice and helped us as much as she could, but her hands was tied

We camped here in our RV . This place has a great pool with slide, mini golf and activities for kids. I only gave it 3 stars b/c of the price . If u get there early they will charge you. No discount for grandparents like us who don't use the pool. One scoop of ice cream was expensive . This is no place to go if you want a family get-together b/c , even if they come part of a day they have to pay 15.00/ person !! I don't know any campground that charges that...our son has 4 children, so for 6 people it is way too much...For that reason, I doubt if we will be back. Staff was friendly.

Very nice staff and service was great. I was there for the pool only and can't give a full review. The areas were very clean and maintained. They could use more seating for the crowd that they have.
