Terrific park. Overnight area separate from day use and gated. Excellent facilities. Bathrooms and laundry extraordinarily clean and grounds very well kept. Really cute playground. Staff friendly and helpful. Little bit of road noise but not bad. I’d stay there again.

Outstanding RV campground. We stay at a lot of state and private campgrounds, this is by far the gold standard in terms of amenities, hotel like restrooms, spacious showers, including free laundry with state of the art washer and dryers. The children’s playground is impressive. Very good value and conveniently located just off the highway.
