It was a wonderful place. We stayed there from 2009 to 2023. We loved it, just had to give it up due to failing health. We .iss our Texas neighbors. Would drive down if it weren't such a long trip.
Dave Bowmaster
Doug, that manages the park is very nice and accommodating. We met numerous nice people staying at this park. It is a basic park with not a lot of extra amenities, or at least nothing fancy. It does appear to be well maintained. The big plus here is the pleasant and laid back atmosphere. Doug adds a lot to that.
