I think I'll be so happy every summer. I'm looking forward to the opening day.

1. Dogs are allowed: but only kind of! They're allowed on your own site ONLY, dogs are NOT allowed to walk ANYWHERE on the campground. You're not even allowed to CARRY your dog in your arms, or in a proper carrier, anywhere on the campground either! You must DRIVE your dog out the GATE, in your car, in order to take your dog for a walk! 2. No electric toys allowed on the campground: No electric scooters, no electric bikes, no electric golf carts, nothing! If it's a toy, if it's electric, it's not allowed. 3. This place has more rules than Nazi Germany: Kids aren't allowed to play near or in the creek, no biking after 9pm, kids aren't allowed anywhere on the campground after 9pm without a parent (we had a 16 year old and a 14 year old and even they had to be at our campsite by the campground's curfew time, so they hungout "outside" the campground until our own "parental" curfew for our kids... 4. Favoritism: There are waterpark rules for the "common folk" kids, but those rules don't apply to kids known to park management, aka the "privileged" kids. If "common folk" kids try doing the same things as "privileged" kids, they get sternly warned, and the entire family is put on "eviction" notice (it didn't happen to us, but we received an email, addressed to everyone staying long-term in the campground, publicly shaming the parents) 5. They are less than honest: They told us there was only one site available and we didn't have a choice to stay in it if we wanted to spend the summer at this campground. The site directly next to ours was a fair bit wider (we have a 44' long 5th wheel with slide-outs on both sides), we have 4 kids, and a husband and a wife... every little bit of extra space counts. When neighbors finally showed up a few weeks later, they told us they just drove past the campground a couple days earlier and rented this campsite on the spot, then. 6. Broken promises: My kids were both lifeguards, and "apparently" the campground was in desperate need of lifeguards. So, a) they promised our eldest he'd get an entire week of wages paid at the end of the season if he worked at least 4-days a week (he had another year-round 4-days a week job, so they wanted him to cut back those hours to work more for them) and if he DIDN'T take off during the 2 construction weeks, other than the 2-day family trip we had already booked... aaaaaaand they never kept their promise to our son... They never paid him the extra week. b) Our other lifeguard kid was also promised to be put on the work schedule rotation from time-to-time; they worked her only one shift the entire season! 7. Wooden decks only: Our campsite being entirely covered in fresh, unpacked sand; naturally, we wanted to landscape and build a comfortable place while minimizing sand and dirt getting tracked into the 5th wheel all season. Eventhough 90% of seasonal renters all had stone pavers, including both neighbors on either side of us, we were told we weren't allowed. Ok, so NO PAVER STONES. We thought we'd get interlocking wooden deck tiles instead. We were again told we weren't allowed. Ok, so NO INTERLOCKING WOODEN DECK TILES either. We were told WE HAD to build a full wooden deck, and given a choice of only 2 different sizes of deck we were allowed to build. Needless to say, we DON'T recommend this campground!

Amazing campground for families with kids! We stayed here two nights in July 2023, and loved it! The campground was clean and we loved our site in section 200, as it was so close to the amenities. Lake and waterpark were so much fun, the kids had a blast swimming in the lake and the pool, playing in the sand, and going down slides. We spent the entire day at the waterpark! We also loved that there was a store that is really well stocked, as well as a restaurant with reasonable prices (and decent food). Our kids also really loved the playground, the bouncy pad, and the games and colouring they did in the community hall. And another major pro: campground was super quiet as soon as it got dark! Everyone had a great rest. Would highly recommend this campground and kids are already asking to go back!

Nice place to go camping with the family. If your a senior and you don't like children then this is not the best place for you because it is really family orientated.
