Loved the pool. That's pretty much all there was to do. Said gaming room but I never seen one. I definitely do not want to go back. The staff is rude and two faced. They were nice while we was there staying but as soon as we left and started asking about our deposit they instantly became rude with me and my husband, sometimes not even replying back or answering the phone. Changing my 5 star review to a 3 star and here's why.... The campground took a $100 deposit and has yet to give it back and we're going on day 7 or 8 since check out. They won't answer texts and for some reason I can't even contact them on booking,com where I made the reservations as if they blocked me. So now my bank is trying to get my deposit back for me. This is crazy and very unprofessional! Oh and our last night there two women were in the pool having sex and they were not trying to be quiet or discreet. I heard them inside my cabin. Idk if it was another guest or just someone coming in to have sex in the pool and leave. There's no gate as it said on booking.com . Never actually saw 1 worker/owner our entire trip. Wifi sucked. At least our TV worked but only had about 10-12 channels.

I never feel the need to give a review when I have a bad experience with a business, but this place is just awful. My friend and I decided at the end of May that we wanted to go camping for the 4th of July weekend. We both had a long weekend off work and just wanted to get away to relax. Of course it was a bit difficult to find a place considering it was for a holiday weekend, but we found this place and booked the first week of June. Fast forward to the 4th of July and we get to this place right at check-in time. First of all, the pictures are extremely misleading. We had both look very throughly at the website before booking and thought it looked like a nice campground. We couldn’t have been any more wrong. The place is a dump and the cabin we had booked looked awful in person. Well we tried not to let that bother us and went ahead to the office to check-in. There was a “closed” sign on the door and all the lights were off. Luckily the cleaning lady was right there and asked us if we needed help. We told her we needed to check-in so she let us in the office and come to find out, the cabin we had booked wasn’t available. They had double booked us. So she called the owner to see what could be done and the owner wanted to put us in a beat up RV that had a busted out window! We asked the cleaning lady if we could go back to my car and discuss what to do and she said of course and if we needed a refund to call the owner. So we sat in my car for the next hour trying to find another place to go because there was no way we were staying there. Thankfully we were about to find a place almost an hour away that had a last minute cancellation. We start to head that way and call the owner to get our refund. She was extremely rude to us and said that she had offered us something to else (the RV with the busted out window) and that we were choosing not to stay so she was going to have to charge us a 30% cancellation fee. We told her no way because it wasn’t our fault they screwed up. She told us to go to the office and they could give us our refund there. So we turn around and go back to the office and the lady in the office (who is a completely different lady from the cleaning lady) told us that we had to call the owner. We told her that the owner had sent us here. She acted like she didn’t want to believe us and we sat there arguing with her about it for 20 minutes before she finally gave us the refund. Then later that night the owner called me and tried to tell me that the card I gave to put the refund on was not the same card I used to make the reservation whenever I literally have the confirmation email to prove that it is. Overall, this place is extremely inconsiderate and unprofessional.

I’m not sure how many stars to even give but I’m just going to be honest so everyone else will know before they book here. First off, I called to say that we were going to be a little later checking in and was told no problem, upon arrival the office was empty and no one was to be found. We finally found a copy of a receipt taped to the door, no map, no instructions with information or anything. Basically we were on our own! The site was pull thru like we paid for but it was so un level the picnic table was useless, we had the hardest time getting our camper set up and level. The photos online are completely photoshopped and not accurate at all! I believe that the only thing from the website that is accurate is the paved roads, if they had a game room it was in fact never open and the bathrooms were bad and so hot, the dumpster was so full people were just throwing their trash on the ground around the dumpster. The worst of it was the sewer it smells through the whole park and the gnats were awful especially at the “dog park” where there is a whole septic tank just sitting beside the fence, the sewer issue is so bad one day we came in from being out most of the day and our whole camper smelled of sewage. Most sites were homesteaders and not very well maintained. It was a plus that they had a pool but it wasn’t in the best condition and had broken chairs and tables and pool floats just left anywhere and everywhere. The dog park gate is pretty much nonexistent it is literally held together by poop bags and has no hinges or latches. Not sure if it was a good or bad thing but every night police would make rounds through the park between 12 - 1 am with spotlights on. We went to connect to the WiFi and I believe it was about $10 extra a day, I used my wireless hotspot instead. There are 2 things I will say that we were pleased with and that was that the park was quiet and the people were friendly! I’m not trying to bash the place, I just wished I would have seen the reviews before we chose to stay here, so I wanted to hopefully save someone else from making the same mistake because I definitely would not choose it again!

We had reservations to stay here and could not stay here. I love to be that person to say positive reviews about a place. I will start by saying the staff member we first met was super nice and tried to be so helpful. The site we booked online , they said when we got there was someone on it permanent. So we will put you in another site we needed 50amp which is what I booked. Was taken to some pull through sites on a hill. No problem pulling through, no room to walk in front of camper without rolling down a bank. Couldn't even put steps down or let awning out. So the nice lady took us to a few more sites on the side by side but they were 30amp. I now have read some of their reviews and definitely would not make another reservation here, The road getting in with a camper is one lane in meeting cars coming in and out, bathrooms were very horribly nasty, and the pull through site also had broken glass all over the place. My bad for not reading the reviews but their website pictures are definitely misleading. I have spoken with them and they said they would refund our money. The two ladies I meet were very nice, I think one was the owner.

The website is VERY misleading. Stayed Friday-Monday. Never saw a staff member. Office was always closed. Bathrooms were never cleaned, they were dirty and out of toilet paper. Most other campers live at the campground and are friendly.No complaints about the pool! Campsites are unlevel. Playground is pitiful. Smelled sewage every time the wind blowed. Not every site has a fire ring or picnic table. They advertise a game room, but by peeking in the window it looks like it is used for storage. Wish we would have just spent $15 more dollars and went to a nicer campground.

I am the owner of a local plumbing company. This property is owned by a woman from Florida who does not care about the reputation of her campground. We were called to do work on her properties. She also owns ft. Wilderness motel, which has Cherokee people living in filth. Neither of her properties are somewhere I would let my dog stay. Both facilities are in disrepair with an owner that doesn't care. There are multiple code violations, and her handyman with tattoos on his face has no clue how to fix anything. Unfortunately Andre has dementia or Alzheimer's and has no idea that this woman is running him in the ground. She only wants to jigger rig plumbing instead of paying a real plumber to fix it properly.

The atmosphere here is wonderful and the managers make it that way. They are a delight to talk to and theirs employees are very friendly. Wish I could rate it higher.

Please Read, Disney! We stayed 4 nights recently and the comfort station in our tent loop ( 1500s ) hadn't been touched the entire time. Toilets weren't flushed, latches on showers broke, paper towels needed to be filled, sinks needed to be wiped down. And went into both gift shop stores and their inventory was all dusty. I mean you could write your name on the bottles and mugs. Two employees were standing there talking to each other. How long does it take to clean and dust off your inventory? Would have purchased, but just left. No clothing variety or size variety, and no X-Mas theme clothing either. Even the food at P&Js was limited and just average at best. Girl working there was mildly friendly - not the experience you get with Disney. They always made you feel warm and welcoming and friendly. Magic? No magic! Disney has to be and should be better than that. Get your act together, Disney cause after years of going , we're not ready to go back.
