My fiance and I stayed here last night for 1 night. The gentleman that helped us out was very pleasant, even though we were a late arrival and we were unreachable so he was unaware of when we would show or if we would. We have a 42ft motorhome and flat tow a jeep gladiator behind it and we had no issue getting through the park, not one tree branch touched our rig! Obviously a well kept park. He will guide you to your spot and even offered to help me hook up which was nice and is a rarity. It seems to be a family owned mom and pop place which we love to support, there is just a certain charm you dont get at your chain locations. We will most certainly be back next season.

Convenient location not far off the highway and not far from town. The friendliest people here. The park is lovely and a concerted effort has been put into making the sites comfortable. It's very clean here and the office and facilities are clean and a fabulous, hippie haven. I love it!

Called in morning for one night stay that night and was kindly accommodated. Had full hook ups and very level lot. Owners are very nice. Appears most sites are permanent. The lot we were assigned did not have a fire pit. Website misrepresents mini golf which is in disrepair and unusable. Didn’t use bathrooms but they were clean. Didn’t use pool but it was clean. Camp materials say campers are charged $3.00 per person to use it. I can see the owners are trying but some features just need a little TLC. For a quick overnight it was a fine stay.

We stopped in last night in our 40' bus and towing a Jeep. We were guided to our spot by a man who made sure stop and cut any branches he thought may be low enough to touch the roof of our bus (we very much appreciated that!). There are plenty of full timers but its very clean and quaint. The lady who works up feont was so sweet. 15% military discount was a plus! Would definitely recommend.
