We stayed in our camper at quail loop #23 for a week. Everything was nice. The trails were close for walking and MTB. Most of the lots were nicely sized. There were 3 camp hosts in our loop. Shower house was clean. I even did a trail ride from horse adventures. We would walk the river trail to the lagoons. Town is also close.

Nice park, but the "accessible features" it brags about are a joke! Yes there are ramps, but using them in a wheelchair leaves A LOT to be desired. The biggest joke was the ADA campsites. Elevated platforms made of composite slats... no way to stake down the tent? And the ramp to the tent is blocked off? You have to get past the showers to use the toilet? One campground host was drunk and another couldn't keep a dog on a leash. The gate attendant was constantly outside the office smoking. Made the best of it, but definitely will not be back or recommend to anyone who rolls... shame!!

This park is amazing, it has a lot of thing to do with family, really nice hiking trails. Also there’s a playground for kids but the zip line area in the playground hasn’t been fix. Great place to go and forget about everything else

Stayed in a cabin last weekend. The booking, check-in, cancellation ( I booked 2 & cancelled 1) and deposit refund were a smooth easy online process. The camp host Bill was gracious and engaging when we bothered him at close to 9 at night. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The area next to our cabin with a fire ring felt secluded even though every cabin was full. The bathroom/ showers look brand new and were kept clean and stocked. We could not have asked for a better experience! So thank you to all of you who work so hard to keep this area pristine!
