This campground looks great on the website but it is aging and has decrepit infrastructure and facilities. We had stayed there a few years back when the new owners bought it and were supposedly fixing it up and making improvements. During that stay the water was shut off for half a day due to a leak. This past summer we decided to give it another try and stayed here twice over the summer on a cross country trip. Honestly didn't notice anything different in the way of improvements (see pictures). Upon arrival the first time there was no electricity at the post of the site we were assigned. Since it was after 5pm there was no staff on-site so we called the office and left a message. Also FB messaged and a staff member on call responded and had us move to another site. Mild inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless. Before returning the second time I called in advance and told the staff member we wanted to avoid any issues with our designated site. They said there were no issues with electricity at the site and assured me we wouldn't have a problem. Ha! Electricity worked upon arrival but at some point overnight it stopped. Woke up with no electricity and walked around trying to find someone and finally found a staff member tending to the decrepit pool who was able to turn it back on. Needless to say we won't book another stay here at this aging campground with poor customer service.

Ya still advertising with the old pictures. Remember you said that would be Corrected some time ago. What happened. It only takes a mouse click. I don't have to stay there to visit my friend Charlotte or do.i ?? Staffing problems I guess.. Just checking... Will the water be on this winter or frozen again??? Just following up on what you've been telling folks when you respond to people's reviews. Or do we get more BS like always .

I had the pleasure of being invited to one of their events. Oh my God, it was so much fun. Everyone was very friendly. The place is very pretty. My son loved seeing the ducks. I hope to bring one home (he asked me for it) He wanted to bring one home 🦆🪿

I stayed here for 90% of October and the services and grounds are continuing to improve daily. The new staff and owners are putting in maximum effort to improve every aspect of the park. I highly encourage people to check out this campground now and in the future. The Halloween event was awesome. Thank you staff and crew for make me and my families stay a very positive experience. We will stay here anytime we are in this area.
