The entire campground is gorgeous and well maintained. Our dogs reflexive enjoyed the large dog park. Just missing one star for the unlevel lots. Otherwise its a beautiful place to stay with TONS of amenities. Prefect for families with children and pets.

Easy to find, service is excellent, bathrooms and showers are exceptionally clean. The only reason it got a 4 for location is because it is really close to I-29 lots of road noise. Not a problem, for my family but if you are light sleepers just be warned.

What a wonderful campground. It is well maintained and clean. The staff was one of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever seen. I definitely recommend this to any wanting to be close enough to great food but far enough away to get some much needed peace and relaxation.

Nice campground for an overnight stop. The campground is generally well maintained with a great staff. It's a bit off on a dirt road, but relatively easy to reach. Just a bit of constructive advice: It rained, and there seemed to be some issues with drainage. Perhaps adding some rock to raise up these areas could help. Even after 12 hours of no rain, there was still mud and standing water at my campsite.

If you have a small rig I'm sure it's delightful. Dog park is very nice. We did not use any other amenities. Do not book here if you have a coach over 34 foot. Our 37' DP is too wide and long to park, maneuver or level in their small cramped spaces. Pull thru site, i now have to back out of or end up in the tree line. Road in isn't bad it is atrocious for coach and towed vehicle, loose gravel and dirt. New dings on the jeep. Definitely a coach and car wash now required.
