I have lived in big tree for 2+ years. I love the place. It's clean not expensive and has great management. Will be here a long time. Maintenance people are also wonderful.

I had the privilege of staying here for 2 yrs in my travel trailer. Unfortunately, I had to move for family matters. I really miss it there. Everyone was so friendly to me and my dogs. The new manager is actually trying to make improvements.

I love it here. So many fun things to do. Never a dull moment. The staff is very nice and hard workers. We are located across the street from Walmart. You can walk or take your bike. You can also go to a few stores with your golf cart.

I have lived here 23yrs, management had changed several times. Some are good, some not so good. Spend the majority ofy time at the pool. Love the dances and activities Hate that the pool closes so early. I used to love the spa at night to use as my wind down. Really miss that. A lot of activities during the winter season, summers are a bit quiet, but I like the changes. I feel bad that we don't get short time visiters anymore. Now it's starting to feel like a trailer park, not an RV Park.
