HORRIBLE!!! If I could post no stars I would!!!! First I tried calling. The owners phone went straight to voicemail with the mailbox being full, so I texted like the message said to. I NEVER got a reply. I did this for 2 weeks then decided to just show up and check it out. Talk about a dump! It definitely has been neglected for years. There was trash everywhere you looked, Nothing was cleaned, everything was broken and rusted. It is a DISGUSTING, RUN DOWN, HOBO VILLAGE!!! We are loving hippies but I wouldnt even let my dog outside afraid he would step on a rusty needle!!! Please HEED MY WARNING!!!!!

If I could give this no stars or negative stars I would. At first Kirston came off pretty nice after talking we were told of laundry and trash pickup were included bc we were staying for a while, while we're in between houses. After a weeks time we were told of no trash and our laundry was taken out of the wash and set out and the laundry room was then locked for days ruining our personal belongings. Also I would like to mention the SEWAGE LEAK beside our camper that I have 4 children in. AFTER CONTACTING FOR A WEEK NOTHING WAS DONE. So I went further and took a legal route and was kicked out after paying. The campground is so poorly taken care of we had to hire a towing service to help get us out while Kirston sat at another camp site taking pictures and laughing the entire time as well as cussing out our tow drivers.The health department has been notified as well as the other campground it sisters too. I would advise everyone to stay away from this place if all possible! It's a joke I'm also putting pictures up of the campground.

Beautiful and clean setting and wonderful people. Keep in mind when reading the negative reviews posted in the last few days that they are coming from people who are too cowardess to use their real names and who have been asked to leave for not paying a dime while staying there for many months. Tbese people include a family with children and multiple dogs living in a camper given to them by the owner. Please note these people are still there and ask yourself why if it's so bad. Instead, Please see all the many many positive comments and take others with a grain of salt and consider the source. Kirsten and the gang will take great care of you....Guaranteed!
