One of the few campgrounds that does winter camping but prices are high and didn't make sense. To store a camper for the winter it is only $150 for the season but if you wanna use the camper it's $470 a month for an identical lot. The only difference is weather i say im going to use it or not. Electric lots are the same price as lots with electric and sewage. And your power is metered so your paying 470 a month for a lot barely big enough for a camper and some of the people there and not pleasant as they told me. They do have a heated bathhouse available.

my family are long time campers and we were staying at Wilson State Park. My 19 year old daughter and I rode our bikes from Wilson to check out the park to see if it would be worth staying at. We were riding slowly and respectfully through the park when we were literally chased down by a woman in a golf cart yelling at us that we needed to leave as it was private property. I apologized but really didnt see any signs indicating that we couldn't ride through the park. She was pretty intense but probably keeps a good eye on the park. Honestly though from what we saw, the park looks pretty sketchy and a little run down. So I guess we got the information we needed and would never camp here

We have been coming to this campground for years, It's a very nice place that we call home away from home! So many lakes surrounding this area, and its so nice to take our 4 wheelers right from the campground to the Trailheads! Cindy is amazing at her job, and is such a wonderful Host- Thank you- to all of you, at Harrison RV Family Campground 😊

We stayed at this campground for a few months, and from the beginning, I felt like we weren’t welcome. I had a gut feeling that we’d end up getting kicked out for something unfair—and unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened. There were ongoing issues from the start. The rules seemed to apply differently to us than to others. For example, we were told our kids (ages 9, 6, and 5) weren’t allowed to play at the playground without direct parental supervision, while other families didn’t seem to have that restriction enforced. We were also accused of leaving trash in our yard—yes, occasionally a wrapper might fall from the truck when unloading, but we always picked up after ourselves. They also said we couldn’t leave our dog outside on a leash, yet the campers right next to us were allowed to. Then came the issue of firewood. We had brought our own, but the campground suddenly changed the rule, saying only their wood could be used. So we simply stopped using the fire pit entirely. The final straw was completely unjust. After being gone for most of the day (we left around 2 PM to do DoorDash and visit family), we returned around 6:30 PM. No one had reached out or tried to talk to us during the day. When we pulled in and began throwing away trash, a staff member came up and told us we had to leave immediately, claiming there were "three witnesses" who saw my husband stealing firewood. We hadn’t used the fire pit in two months! No conversation, no chance to speak, just an accusation and immediate eviction. For a place that advertises itself as family-friendly, we felt targeted and judged from day one. I wouldn’t recommend this campground to anyone looking for a fair, respectful, or welcoming place to stay.
