We have been a seasonal site holder for two years now and love it. We see so many kids with so much joy at the swimming pond, beach and brand new huge playground and Miniputt . The koi pond is a special spot and the pool and laundry room are an added bonus. We love that it has a dog park too. The social committee and office work hard to bring weekly entertainment in for the kids and adults. It’s a special place and we are thrilled to be a part of it.

Very nice RV park with many amenities. The only downside is the trailers don't have a lot of space on their lots. Due to this there are not a lot of trees. Lot of people in a very small space.

Visited family recently, and had a great afternoon! They had a scavenger hunt, everyone who finished got free ice cream, plus there were prizes for the top contestants. They have a man made lake, pool, mini golf and tons of activities. Must have a great social committee!

Great park. Highly recommend. The owners are dedicated and genuinely great people. Took the kids just one day for cheap mini golf. They had a blast.

Pros: The inflatable water features are great, with a small "trampoline" in the shallow area for smaller kids and bigger obstacles in the deeper water. Lifejackets are right at the beach and free to use. The pool is quiet and well-maintained. The koi pond is a great experience for kids. There are lots of little things to do, like kids activities on Thursday, live music on weekends, a small arcade and book/DVD sale area, tennis & basketball court (with equipment free to borrow). Some of the overnight sites are quite close to the main amenities. The playground is huge for a park this size, and fun for kids. Cons: the beach is more dirt and pebbles than sand. The playground is largely comprised of old equipment that requires lots of close supervision and is unsafe by modern standards. $5 a person for mini golf, pedal car, and paddle boat rentals is a little pricey for what you get. The main swimming area is slightly slimy and algae is prevalent. The snack bar is overpriced for an RV park. Overall it was fun for a short stay, but there are definitely areas that could be improved upon, especially with regards to the cost of of the more fun amenities. Still, I would return again!
