Really great place to camp. Very peaceful
Pete Zielinski
Looking for a one night stay while traveling. Offices and store is closed on Sunday and Monday. Off season so pool and mini golf also closed. Sites are very small and mostly treeless. Pretty much all pull thru sites. Bathrooms were in terrible shape. 3 unisex units. Two of them that had toilets that were loose from the floor. All 3 had loose seats. Floors were wet and dirty. Sinks were also messy. One had a window that was taped up with foil insulation and looked like a patched hole. Paper towering stuffed into the ceiling vent. Most of this would have been more tolerable if priced lower for off season. $60 for one night with all these conditions, way over priced. Would not recommend this place.

My family and I have camped here a couple of times for a night or two. It’s always very clean. A nice big shower house with hot water and folding chairs. The trash bins are on either side of the park so there is some walking but it’s nothing bad. Easy drop off when you’re driving out.

Check in was super easy, we stayed at lot A1 and it was the perfect size for our 40’ diesel, every lot has a fire pit and lots of grass, the pool was clean and felt great!!

My husband and I stayed here for six months and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The office staff were always friendly and professional. The bath houses were clean as well as the grounds. The nearby walking trail was a wonderful bonus. The location is super convenient as there restaurants and shops within walking distance.
