RVs keep getting bigger however the RV spots are the smal size as years in the past. We were assigned a spot that had our neighbors fire pit under our kitchen slide 🙄. When we asked to be moved we were told …… sorry, we’re full even though empty spots were all around. They allowed us to spend 2 nights in a spot that was vacant; a weekender wanted it so we would have to leave. They allowed us reservation system is a wish list. Be sure to call the campground - do not just show up.

My husband and I have a 43 foot fifth wheel and there was no problem at all with the size of the site. This was a great place. Everyone was very friendly. Very welcoming. Had a lot of stuff to do. Bathroom very clean. Can not say enough about this place. We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay here for the 4th of July! There was one issue with the 30 amp breaker and Tanya came over right away to our site and loaned us an adapter until the electrician could get there the next day to fix it. Tanya was awesome. All the other staff is friendly and helpful too! See you all in August.

First time staying here for 2 days. Overall it was ok and we had a partially shaded site. Not the biggest sites but not smallest either. Check in was good and didn't take very long. Few things we didn't like... can't pick site as sites are assigned. The place could use some elbow grease and some fresh paint. Mini putt is in terrible shape, shuffle boards are non functional, grass in some areas need cutting. We were told that a new system is being tested for possible introduction which will allow you to select sites. Hopefully that comes true.

Just purchased a Thousand Trails cabin pass and stayed here for three nights this week. The trip was excellent. All of the staff we encountered from check in, to maintenance, to housekeeping were friendly and helpful. They have a great BBQ place on site with plenty of amenities and scheduled events. The campground was very well maintained. Special shout out to Emily in housekeeping for helping us get moved to a new cabin almost immediately when we realized the AC in ours wasn't up to par. Thanks Emily! We will definitely be back before the end of the season.
