Beautiful place for our overnight on the way to Panama City. Pay for the concrete pads area. We didn't and wish we would have.

We had two premium concrete RV sites this past weekend for a 4 night 5 day trip. I had originally booked two sites near the swimming beach at the pond, and honestly wish I hadn't let the booking lady talk me into the "100 foot plus" sites. My original two sites would have been much nicer. When my parents opened their tower to plug in, it literally threw sparks at them! Our 30amp tripped at least 6 times over our stay (that's never happened at any other park). My husband is an electrician, and he was able to get us up and running, but I feel bad for travelers who might not know. We were supposed to have a nice waterfront view, but the entire water area near our sites were overgrown with plants. The miles long pond is covered in algae from a recent storm. There isn't really anything the park can do about that EXCEPT when directly asked on their Facebook page over the phone about it, they misled us by saying they expected it to clear up in a day or two "we plan to post photos soon". It never cleared up, we never had use of the pond. The park was hit by a tornado in January, so I'm giving them a lot of leeway; however, the one bath house that's still functional (the other doesn't have ventilation/AC) has a keypad lock that we could NEVER get to work for the women's room. So, while we were using the pool, we had to walk all the way back to our site to use the restroom. I was surprised to see that the park is NOT gated at night. Anyone can drive in at any time. The $85+ dollar a night sites don't have any firepits. Just a small concrete pad that barely fits a picnic table. The gentleman who is the park host was really nice. It was horrific to hear about what happened with the tornado. The county doesn't have a tornado warning system, so there wasn't even a warning. We were happy to hear there were no deaths, but there were a number of injuries as everyone was still in their RVs when the storm hit.

If you read a bad review they are 100% correct. A lot of money for nothing. And nothing like the photos or advertisements. The pool was horrible. The swimming area was more like a mud hole. Could not even see the bottom of the so called clear lake for all the weeds.Don't waste your money.

My husband has been fixing roofs in the area and on the restaurant and gas station, the area is beautiful. We have fished at mill pond and it's so peaceful.

The staff was very nice, but to pay $180 for two nights and couldn’t swim in the pool and the lake that you were supposed to be able to swim in there was people fishing on the dock all day and you had to jump in off the dock and it was hard to get back up out of the water . We are not happy camper

This resort was awesome. It was quiet and close to amenities. We really enjoyed the close spring access for paddle boarding. We'll stay here again.

5 star all the way. Easy access, very clean, and friendly rv park. Lisa in the office was great and John (the park ranger 😀) was very helpful as well. Oh I didn't catch the gals name up in the convenience store; she was very sweet and helpful. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay here. Thank you fir being wonderful hosts.

Nice kept up rv park. Friendly staff. We only stayed on night but will stay again someday. Very clean restrooms, showers and swimming pool. I think most sights had concrete pads but not all. The wifi was really strong and the park is close to restaurants and shopping.

Super friendly people, we had to come in a day later than our original plan. They were so accommodating. The park is super clean and conveniently located near the Florida Caverns state park. We loved our site #16

This was my favorite RV camping spot yet! We have been camping for 4 years now and this was by far the best place we have visited. They have worked so hard to get things back up and running after the tornado and it really shows. This place is beautiful, clean and well organized. The staff was awesome and very accommodating. We kayaked the lake, which is BEAUTIFUL. We visited the caverns state park. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

The staff is so friendly! There were 6 campers in our group, families and friends. The lake was beautiful, fun to kayak and fish. The kids enjoyed the pool. We recommend heading over to Seacrest Wolf Preserve for a day outing, amazing experience, a must when in the area!
