I would not recommend this place. It was a complete mess as a whole. The grass on the sites was knee height, water was shooting from the pipes from the ground. For one morning the whole park’s water stopped due to a giant 4 ft water geyser shooting into the air. The amount of drama from the residents at this park was crazy. We were there for one weekend and the people were all gossiping about each other and fighting and trying to get into everyone else’s business. Last and certainly not least, this park stole my money and will not respond to calls, voicemails, or emails. The woman at the office claimed that the card charger wasn’t working after swiping our cards 3 times. We then paid cash so we could stay there and a few days later, we were charged 3 times in addition to our cash payment. It’s been a month and they will not answer calls or emails to refund me my money that they stole.

Was worried about staying here after reading reviews but I could not have been happier with our stay. Beautiful campgrounds and friendly people. We will be going back again

This is a sad KOA. It is geared towards atv's so it has a ton of atv's riding around campground and making a ton of noise and dust. The pool burned my skin. People walk right thru your campsite with no regard. The rules for atv's that we read were not followed and it made it hard to explain to our grandson. We pay more to stay at KOA's and expect a little more. It had no garbage service and our campsite had cigarette butts all over it. Gross place and do not recommend.

I'm not sure how KOA called this place a holiday. But if you don't have an ATV then you don't belong here. They also treat you that way has someone took my side view mirror off my Class A motorhome while we were sleeping. We were wondering why all the better looking campsites have fences around their site the people that live there. Which was 99.9 of the people except for the residence. Dog crap all over a campsite cigarette butts broken picnic table. This place was so amazing instead of our 3-day stay we left the very next day after we pulled in that afternoon. I lost the rest of our money along with a side view mirror

Good camp ground. Enjoyed our experience. Has a pool, swing set, walking trails, its by the ocklawaha river which is nice. Has restrooms and showers. Hook up for electric and septic. Golf cart and 4 wheeler friendly- MUST ADHERER to SAFETY rules. Which is cool. And pet friendly.

This is not our first time at this campground BUT it is the last. The young lady in office and Night Security were Awesome. KOA should be ashamed to label this with their flag. It falls EXTREMELY SHORT of any expectations. The Office/store closed at 4pm everyday. Bathrooms at Clubhouse were disgusting!!! I cleaned them so my family could use it. There was also another female guest cleaning so she could use the facilities. When I requested the restrooms be cleaned, the 2 girls came and complained about having to work with the bugs, never touch the toilets and left the trash there for 3 days afterwards. The Club house is huge but no activities, kids are unsupervised throwing pool balls around and making a mess. The picnic tables in the pictures are no where to be found. There are old wooden ones. Flying ants, possibly termites invading the area. There is no longer firewood for sale. The laundry facilities lol 2 of 6 washers work and 2 dryers but the catch is you have to have the small hand of a child to reach in the hole where the change box used to be and press a button to turn it on. This was a disgrace and my 4 night trip was horrible to say the least.

Had reservations booked for three evenings. Started calling three days prior to check in date to cancel as I had car troubles in route. The phone would either just ring and ring and ring or go to a full voicemail. Finally found an 800 number to call the night before actually spoke to someone who took a message. Called that morning voicemail still full kept calling and calling and calling as it was a weekday someone should’ve been there. Finally someone answered the phone argued with me for a good 15 minutes and kept my deposit said could not refund because the only voice message they got was the night before, disregarding the fact that I tried for three days and never was able to speak to anyone and these were weekdays. Would not recommend as the young girl I spoke to was very rude. Poor customer service. Not a very good business to have a full voicemail constantly no answer phones.

This place is definitely rural and rustic if that is what you like. It is so dark at night you can hardy see. Arrived late and was told to just pick a spot. The campers there take up more than one spot using hookups that do not belong to their location.

If you are planning to stay and ride ATV - this may be the place for you. As far as 'riding parks' go, this is generally one of the better places to stay at as most do not have a pool, showers, or playground. IF YOU ARE NOT PLANNING TO RIDE TRAILS - THIS PARK MAY NOT BE FOR YOU! The sites are a 'free for all' and you just have to drive around and find an opening. There were many people taking up more the one spot, making it hard to find one close to the amenities. There is no cable hook up and the water pressure tends to come and go. There was no service with our Verizon phones unless we were RIGHT by the lake. The laundry room had very old machines and I did not trust using them. The bathrooms in the clubhouse were disgusting until I complained, but they did clean them directly after. They were very nice about allowing anyone to hang in the clubhouse to watch TV, place pool, or in my case - set up my computer and work. However the floors had not been cleaned for some time and there was debris and bugs everywhere. The pool area was nice, but not heated so very cold during our stay. I did hear a worker say they were trying to get the pool cleaned/serviced but had trouble getting someone due to the cold water. Overall, if you are not going to ride the trails, consider somewhere else.
