Great place to getaway and spend time in the great weather. They have all the amenities and services most campers will need. Definitely a place to revisit.

The campground is nice, Unfortunately, the front counter Lodge staff is not. They definitely need some friendlier Front counter people helping campers. No smiles, No flexibility, No Customer Service skills. Maybe because there’s not a lot of camping options in that region. Everything is overpriced From the camping spots to the items in their store. They even charge a $15 fee to visit any camper’s spots now. Seems to be a very greedy business. A lot of longtime campers have moved to different campgrounds because of this. Hopefully their management will actually read the reviews and make some changes.

We only stayed one night so the experience is limited. We checked in at the office/store (the store is really nice). We had already paid over the phone so it went pretty quickly. I was disappointed to see that we were so far away from the showers/bathrooms that we wouldn’t use them. I had to ask for a code for them. It wasn’t offered to me. But this is a HUGE property and so far as I know only one shower/bathroom location. They also allow people not staying here to use them at a fee. They don’t have wifi. None. You have to bring your own or hotspot from your phone, if it has any service. For the price of the stay I would have expected WiFi. My fault. I didn’t ask. We had dinner at the restaurant. I didn’t find the pizza to be very good but the servers we talked to were really great. Stefanie was one of them. There was a real party atmosphere across from we were parked for the night. The crowd didn’t shut it till about 11:30. People seemed happy and enjoying themselves here.

Stayed for two weeks and loved the peace and quite. Site's are big. Grounds are kept nice and restaurant was good. The ladies at the front desk were mostly cordial, just wish there were more friendly smiles. Ralph was a hugh help and so friendly. Will stay again if the opportunity rises.

Tried to book and enjoyable stay at Happy Jack RV park and cabins requested a cabin with a full kitchen and when we arrived we got a one bedroom cabin with a microwave. Lack of communication over the phone that I would be given a smaller cabin was not made clear and ruined the trip! I will never return.
