We were just there this week and they were wonderful. Check in was smooth. Had a very nice spot for our travel trailer. The location was convenient for anything we needed. Gas, Bait, Groceries, and even a fishing spot. The grounds were very well kept. Thank you so much for making our first trip our new camper great.

If there were 10 stars we would absolutely rate this RV Resort that as well as there apartment we stayed at in town. We have been traveling for 7 months and this is hands down one of the best RV resorts we’ve stayed at (only one other compared)! Bathrooms, shower and laundry were spotless. Lovely treed property. Pristine and quiet. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We stayed in the RV lot. Not far from the River, Eagle Center, and downtown. We rode bikes along the MRT. Normal campground.

Only sorry that I didn't take pictures. This place is the best resort ever, we stayed here in the campground, sites are perfectly level, clean, nice concrete patios with beautiful lawns around them and evertything works, the grounds are perfectly kept. The shower house is pure luxury; it's spacious, super clean and the showers are pure luxury. The women that checked us in was welcoming and very gracious, thank you for a wonderful experience.
