This is a great RV park that sits on the edge of a creek. Boyd was very knowledgeable, helpful and made you feel like family. Plenty of room to walk your dog. They have a swimming pool and weekly activities for the people staying here. It is a very clean and kept park. It sits in a valley and has beautiful Mountain View’s.
