Great Lil Camp spot (inside) city limits, but... very friendly staff! Hot showers!✌️😉

One of the worst RV campgrounds I've ever stayed at. First I was given a site where there was a sewage leak the day before. The ground was very muddy. I was open-minded and attempted to hook up my RV to the water line and sewage. As I proceeded I slipped on the mud which was completely disgusting since I was aware that there was probably feces still in the muddy lot. Therefore I was not able to take a shower that night cuz I was unable to hook up the water I only had electricity. In the morning my rv was covered with ants and flies due to the feces around the lot. I tried to talk to the manager. They said they would have her call me. I was told she'd get back to me and never did. The lady at the front desk was completely rude and acted like she could really give a shit. In fact I stood there for 5 minutes while she played on her phone or writing something and didn't even acknowledge I was standing there. Please stay away from this place it's absolutely disgusting nor do they care about the customers.

I felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome that after setting up I decided to pull up stakes and move on. There weren't even picnic tables available. This is the second worse campground I've been in (the worst in Nashville). I recommend going anywhere else.

If someone comes on here bashing the RV park it's because "she's" a very bitter person, and well sorry toots the world doesn't revolve around YOU. Have the day you deserve and being bitter is messy FYI My 5 stars stand STILL and always will, along with many others I know who have stayed! We've chosen this park for the last going on 4 years, off and on. Never once displeased.

If a review has more than 1 Star, question it's authenticity. I rented a space in this run down park. The management is not friendly, they shut off security cameras at will. My neighbors and I had things stolen but when asked management for security footage, management refused. Owner lives in Utah, doesn't have a clue but he has an excuse for everything. My SUV got flooded due to poor drainage system. Asphalt is broken up. Terrible area.
