Totally love this place. The employees are helping and respectful and the other guest are friendly. There's soo much to do and don't miss out on the arcade!
Teresa Marantette
So much to do here. Boat, fish, swim(2 pools and 2 hot tubs), mini golf, arcades, karaoke, good price on food at the restaurants, nicely decorated, activities for the kids(bead activities, etc.). Love this place. We will come back. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5, was no dogs on the beach, except at the dog park. But, one of the dog parks was on a small part of the beach. Oh, and there are wild donkeys here. A very nice surprise. Just dont feed them or get behind them. Other than that, they are very people friendly.

Very hot in August 108. The pool kept us cool. The convenient store was reasonably priced and even the food at the tiki bar. Didn't catch any fish, that was disappointing. Friendly and clean.

It is a beautiful place for a vacation. I felt sorry for the donkeys 🫏 that roamed around after the sun went down. Very Hot this time of year. Water is your best friend. But it's a Beautiful sunset and great times.

We had fun anyway!!!!! Bathrooms all clogged and disgusting! Our electrical did not work. We had to be on our generator the whole trip. The park stinks like sewage. River is great. Pool is great. People are nice but not accommodating when it comes to need for park upkeep and repair. We adapted and overcame anyway but very disappointed in all these little things that we expected for our vacation, especially when they want to sell you a time share. It’s the luck of the draw here. We were told we would have a 50 amp hookup close to the water but all the 50 amps are way back in the park. Just sayin.
